I'm a Canadian engineer, serial learner, and truth seeker. I created this website to share my learnings, passions, and interests.

I've spent the majority of my adult life studying a wide range of subjects.  Along the way, I seemed to have developed and honed a skill for finding the best mentors and experts on a given subject, and then diving deep into their material.

While growing up, I was told that you had to specialize in a given subject or discipline, and not to be a jack of all trades. But that just wasn't my makeup. I was always fascinated with renaissance men like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, who didn't limit themselves to one discipline. Maybe its because my last name means "perfect" in Italian, or because I'm an INTJ personality type, which makes up just 2% of the population.

These days, the term and practice of Generalism (the practice of studying many different things rather than specializing in one subject) is making a comeback. Even the school systems of today are touting that the future stars of the next generation will be the generalists.

Some of the subjects that I plan on writing about here are:

  • Excellence & Optimization
  • Learning
  • Geo Minimalism (engineering your life within as small a geographic radius as possible)
  • Technology and Productivity (I have 23 years worth of experience working with tech, data, and product design)
  • Book and resource recommendations for the above subjects

And selfishly, I might even post about food and wine from time to time because I'm a foodie and a hobby winemaker. If any of the topics listed above interest you more than others, please contact me and let me know. It will help me prioritize.

I currently live just outside of Toronto, Canada with my wife and teenage son.
