*** You will notice that my last job ended in July 2017. I left Phaidon because I felt like I was squandering my potential in an industry that did not challenge me. I did not know however where I wanted to focus my energy so I did some travelling. I drove the East Coast of Australia, explored Indonesia and Thailand, and drove across the continental United States. Throughout this year and a half I worked as a Carpenter, a bartender, a dishwasher and a Photographer. Working in a manual labor capacity I developed a brutish work ethic and a reverence for process. After observing the desperate consumerism that grips our culture and the state of the environment, I decided I want to focus my attention toward companies that put an emphasis on sustainability and work toward making a cleaner future.
