A few years ago, I was your typical office-worker: stressed out, uneven energy, overweight, and inconsistent complexion. Now I'm just your typical 28-year old urban hunter-gatherer on a quest to be healthy, and having a few adventures along the way. See my full bio.
A lot on tap for the next few weeks. On Thursday, I'm flying out Los Angeles for almost two weeks.
First up, the CrossFit Games. No, not competing, just blogging and hanging out. If you're there, drop me a line or just come say hello.
The following weekend is the Ancestral Health Symposium. I'll be speaking about the history of zoos, and what it teaches us about human health. My talk is called "Nebuchadnezzar to Knut: A Brief History of Zoos" and it's on Saturday, Aug. 6th at 1:55pm. I'm super psyched about the entire event -- talks by Gary Taubes, Nassim Taleb, Mark Sisson, Loren Cordain, Boyd Eaton, Michael Eades, Robb Wolf, Mat Lalonde, Stephan Guyenet, Richard Nikoley, Staffan Lindeberg, Chris Masterjohn, Seth Roberts, and so many more. And can't wait to meet a lot of the attendees. Gonna be a blast.
I'm also lining up some fun blog content for the next couple weeks.
A lot of good things in the works. I can feel the momentum.

Hey, have fun meeting those
Hey, have fun meeting those guys. I am SUPREMELY jealous. I had an email exchange with Taubes a while back., and have deeply appreciated Taleb's epistemologically critical approach. They are both devastating to conventional wisdom and caution against any personal or social hubris we might arrogate to. The rest of them too, what a fun group to be working with. And then the crossfit games! I will enjoy it vicariously.
I'll be at AHS, looking

Hope to run into you at the games! Safe travels.
It's a good thing you
It's a good thing you cleared up the confusion of whether or not you're competeing in the games. I mean, you are such a superior athlete, I assumed you'd be competeing. With that blog post you did in which you were jumping on a chair on a hotel roof, I thought for sure you must have made itt o the games this year.
Ha, yeah, my joke assumed
