For the uninitiated, this website is primarily about the pursuit of happiness. Because of my passions and background I will often write about happiness through the lenses of the natural world, finance, and strategy.

To me the pursuit of happiness is heavily dependent on the ability to be free to pursue that objective, and therefore I write a lot about how to set yourself up to be financially independent while not losing sight of the things that truly matter in life.
