As of writing this bio in 2026, I am concerned about climate, biodiversity, and sustainability. I'm trained as a physicist, but interested in how I can help reduce humanity's impact on the planet. I work in a scientific instrument company doing holographic microscopy. I'm into free and open source software (FOSS), sociocracy, non-violent communcation (NVC), unschooling, identifying plants and animals. Currently being a dad and a husband is a big part of my life. I live in northern New Jersey.

New server so a new #Introduction.
I have been enjoying the fediverse from raphus.social, but wanted a more local instance. I live in northern #NJ outside of #NYC. I am a physics PhD working at a scientific instrument company. Over the past few years I have dived into #unschooling , #nvc , #permaculture , #botany , #freeSoftware , #foss , #sociocracy. Recently, I am interested in #limitsToGrowth , #collapse , and #degrowth. I'm married, and a dad of two boys 8 and 5 years old.
