About me

I was born in the early 80s.  I grew up in Texas and moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington when I was about 20.  I got a chemistry degree and then I went to visit North India for a few months because I think that area will be a major destination for outsourcing chemistry research within my life, and I wanted to expand my job opportunities.

In 2008-9 I worked as a research assistant in a clinical trial in a study sponsored by NIDA and managed by the University of Washington.  For fun I volunteer in health-related projects, particularly those that involve diseases related to sex or drug use.  I am a supporter of community services and resources, particularly educational and cultural programs.

I am always looking for people to volunteer with me.  If you are reading this site and you see anything that interests you, then write me and I will help you get involved in anything I do.  I grew up without a lot of opportunities, but for some reason I started volunteering for all kinds of projects and the experience I got by joining social organizations propelled my understanding far beyond my natural intellect and abilities.  I am interested in hearing from any activists, but these are some volunteer areas in which I have worked.  Each one of these represents a different project:

  • science education
  • appreciation of modern art
  • promoting cities with touring
  • rights of those accused of crimes
  • trash salvage
  • clinical trials
  • English education, particularly grammar
  • services for the homeless, especially youth
  • harm reduction for illicit drug users
  • data collection for future research
  • religious education
  • physical fitness
  • civil rights for oppressed persons

My primary interests revolve around things that people freely gave to me in Seattle, and I count moving out of Texas to an metropolitan area as being the single best decision I ever made for myself.  Most of my interests only came to be because of what I became after moving to Seattle.  Everything on the list above is something that I continually pursue at least monthly and have for years.  Note also that all of these things are things that only happen because of volunteer networks; there are very few viable business models that can sustain any of these things in a community.
