Wants children
I hope my kids grow up to feel fulfilled and like they have opportunities to do whatever they want. If they’re interested in music, I’ll buy them whatever instrument they want to play. If they want to be athletes, I’ll take them to practice.
Robi is not religious. He identifies as moderately left wing, but does not consider himself strongly political.

In 2021, I started a New Year’s resolution accountability group with ten of my friends where we set goals and met each week to talk about our progress. The accountability was a superpower, because if you tell someone you’ll do something, you don’t want to let them down by not doing it. I set goals to run a 10k in under an hour, learn the flags and capitals of every country, and to exercise and practice Spanish every day.

His job offers generous paternity leave, and he is open to discussions about family roles, emphasizing flexibility and mutual support.

*My greatest passion is making the world a better place. I’ve done thousands of hours volunteering for effective altruism. EA is a small group of people that has an outsized impact, like preventing millions of cases of malaria and helping develop several vaccines. Besides global health, we work on other important issues such as climate change and preventing nuclear war.
I think you must treat everyone fairly, and you should consider the well-being of other people, not just yourself, when deciding what to do.*
