My life in 10 seconds

Hi, I’m Rikin, an adventurer and entrepreneur. I am fascinated by average people who find ways to live an extraordinary story and want to help others fulfill their childhood dreams through the power of adventure, community, and entrepreneurship.

I currently attend The University of Texas at Austin where I create stuff online, run Moonlit Furniture (a furniture startup), and help run the UT Sailing Club. While on campus, I study finance with a minor in architecture.

YouTube: Sometimes, I’m too lazy too read. I know you all feel the same. That’s why I also put stuff on YouTube. From reviewing affordable adventure gear, interviews with average people doing incredible things, learning new things, and the occasional how-to. You can find them here.
