Things I Can Help With

I like people. I like to help, teach, and share passions. I think finding a way to feel the glow of continuous improvement in your life is a key to happiness and I would like to help people experience that if I can. This is a quick list of the things I might be able to help you with, if you think one of them could become a new passion for you, reach out and I’ll help get you started.

I’m generally not an expert, but I can probably help you get started with:

• Martial Arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga)
• Fitness (Lifting, Rowing, Kite Surfing, Climbing, Mobility)
• Music (Drums, Guitar)
• Computers (Programming, Buying)
• Electronics (Robotics, Microprocessors, PCBs)
• Building Things (Wood, Metal)
• Startups (Starting, Surviving, Working For)
• Writing (Clarity, Nonfiction)
• Life Stuff (Budgeting, Motivation, Procrastination, Social Skills)

There are a few things which I know a bit more about:

Programming

• Creating open-source projects
• Building libraries and tools meant for other programmers to use
• Building infrastructure which requires the minimum possible amount of maintenance

Cooking

• Baking (Bread, Pastries and Cakes)
• Southern-style BBQ
