Carty Dougherty

I'm Carty, and I dedicate my life to the pursuit of knowledge. My ultimate goal in life is simply to experience as much as possible. My interests are rarely static, and I take time to explore everything that draws my attention. Over the years, I have developed an affinity for the subjects of futurism, information technology, mechanical engineering, sociology, macroeconomics, nutrition, and the martial arts, to name a few.

My chief influences in life are my parents, Tim Ferriss, Ray Kurzweil, Richard Dawkins, and my cat Jake.

Currently I'm employed by the Department of Defense. Ten years ago I never would have imagined working for the government, much less in the capacity that I do now. Yet, I have never found myself more satisfied and fulfilled by any job I've ever held.
