My off-the-clock existence 

Cyrus treasures the time he spends with his family, and when he’s not with them, he’s usually off exploring one of his many curiosities. A lifelong learner, he devours books and keeps a close eye on the wonders of science—whether it’s astrophysics, biology, geology, or just about any field that explains how the universe ticks.

He enjoys a good game of chess, maintains a steady workout routine, meditates to maintain his inner Wi-Fi connection, wanders into nature whenever he can, and most recently hurled himself headfirst into the cosmos through astrophotography. Here, Astrophotography, are a few of the celestial sights he’s managed to capture—proof that his hobbies occasionally take him several thousand light-years from home.
