I have studied at various universities on the eastern seaboard to obtain various engineering degrees, but I have always felt the need to experience the world in a way that cannot be done as a white collared professional. And so it was that I dropped out of grad school in 2013 and followed my dreams to East Asia. Boy was that a mistake.
But it wasn't. I was going to drop out of grad school anyway, and while in Asia I learned a lot about life, the world, myself, and other people. I met a girl. I kept a blog. I spent a total of about 13 months in Taiwan during the period between July of 2013 and January of 2015. For part of the time in 2014 I was regaining my sanity in New Hampshire through the zen of carpentry and writing - both my first book: A Very Late Gap Year In Taiwan - and my second: a sic-fi novel set in the (decimal) year 36,148 on Earth, as yet not edited and not published.
Feel free to visit the ole blog for the stuff that was not good enough to make it into the book, or else was heavily edited and reorganized, or else didn't fit in to the theme. Linked above. Or Below. I'm not sure where this website will put it.view less
