Eclectic Yogi

I have a long list of eclectic interests & experiences*, but the unifying theme seems to be human development.

A theme that eventually led me to meditation in 2013. I spent the following six years exploring a handful of popular meditation methods & spiritual traditions but sensed that something was missing. With the guidance of my friend & teacher Charlie Awbery, I moved from renunciative practice to the life-affirming path of a yogi. In 2020, the two of us co-founded a community of practice called Evolving Ground.

I covered a lot of this path in detail in this podcast interview.

Before Evolving Ground, I...

built a career in digital design, operations & management.

founded & ran a small nonprofit.

played a video game semi-professionally.

hosted & produced multiple podcasts (produced The Jim Rutt Show & hosted/produced three of my own).

* interests: martial arts (mostly jiu-jitsu), art & design, entrepreneurship, technology, nutrition, philosophy, behavioral & evolutionary sciences...
