Now

updated: 2025-04-25

I am based in Greater Grand Rapids, Michigan, and work as a sales specialist for Apple retail. I am contributing to open source projects and communities. Each day, I strive to sleep, move, eat, grow, play, and share. I am constantly learning and exploring new things.

I am grateful for the gift of insatiable curiosity.

My current pastimes include:

• Building strength through deadlifts, squats, and bench press three times a week.
• Building stamina through running, rowing, and HIIT workouts three times a week.
• Experimenting with craft cocktails, particularly perfecting Old Fashioned variants.
• Reading actively (see https://philoserf.com/posts/books-i-am-reading/).

I am looking forward to:

• a road trip to DC later this spring
• a Caribbean cruise in late autumn
• the total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, as seen from Bilbao.
• a trip to Ireland, still in the planning
