About Addison Davenport
I am passionate about helping people maximize their mental performance. I love math tutoring and think that math is a fabulous way to train the mind. I also pursue other avenues for mind training such as intensive meditation practice and sports. When I am not in the office, I can likely be found surfing, meditating, communing with loved ones, golfing, traveling the world, or attempting to discover the keys of human flourishing.
