Now


Updated January 2023

What I’m working on, focused on, etc these days. Based on the /now page movement created by Derek Sivers.

NYC.

My main focus at the moment is getting some work in the area of data analytics. I trained for much of last year and now I (think I) know enough to get an entry-level job, but coming from a completely different career path with no experience or related degree, I’m not managing to break through with anyone yet. Continuing to apply for jobs, work on my skills, and build my portfolio.

Continuing to practice and perform jazz on the trumpet, as well as teach trumpet and piano lessons, but mostly just when people call. Not actively seeking new gigs in this area.

Meditating daily. Swimming 3x/week or so. Reading at least a little bit nearly every day (nonfiction in the morning, fiction before bed).

Learning Greek for over 2 years now. Mostly studying using Duolingo, because it’s a compelling way to spend at least a little time on it every day. Also using Anki to supplement Duolingo, which I find helps a huge amount.
