Hey there!

 

I’m glad you’re here. By the way, some friends call me Rah. I prioritize human-centered initiatives using my natural aptitude for technology and passion for learning and problem-solving. When not doing those things, engaging in activities of human expertise is near and dear to me. I’m likely flying aircraft (really flying, not relying on autopilot) or being creative. I enjoy dance, visual art, musicianship, linguistics, reading voraciously, and the outdoors with loved ones. Gardening and growing food is also a sustainable practice.

One of my favorite quotes is by Laozi or Lao-Tzu, the founder of Taoism:

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worse when they despise him. But of a good leader who talks little when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: We did it ourselves.”

My favorite books are those I’ve recently read (some more than once):

Many thanks to Chris McKenzie and Max Le Fou for their work on the BOOSTRA.386 theme- the inspiration for this site.

Learning how to learn is a valuable skill because it is perpetual. However, traditional educational paths carry risks. There are also gaps in available information and resources or how it may be presented. I want to partner with you to help close those gaps.
