About Me

I'm a seeker, explorer, intellectual and musical quester--someone who is inexpressibly interested in the workings of the human mind, especially as it relates to the perception of art and music. Music is my lifeblood, and I'm always searching amidst the pollution of mindless entertainment for things that make my heart soar and my mind whir. I love food and love seeing others' happiness through culinary delight. The earth is dear to me and I believe cultivating compassion is humanity's number one priority. I'm into fashion as a mode of individual expression. I'm a libertarian socialist. I'm a humanist and a proud Jew, a lover of fine pleasures and a good listener when I try. I'm an observer and an interacter, an idealogue but a fiscal pragmatist.

My TED Story

It became an obsession about three years ago. I finally got the opportunity to speak about an idea worth spreading at one of the first TEDx conferences at McGill University in 2009. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NGhGnf3kBc
