CURRENT MISSION I'm bringing you your daily dose of weird ABOUT ME I like to take risks. I like to solve problems. I like to work on machines. I like to build things. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm not afraid to tell you what I think. People are very important to me. And I like to be outside. I like to come up with effective but unconventional ways to do things. I don't want to be a passive observer in the world; I want to be a real participant. PHILOSOPHY New experience. That's what I'm all about. Risks. Taking chances. But also, hard work, integrity and honesty, doing things that I can feel good about at the end of the day. I'm young and I'm not going to waste that time. I hear it only happens once. I will go out of my way to bend over backwards for people I've never met, because I figure it's good karma. I think most people also feel the same way deep down, they're just too scared to act on it sometimes.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I began as a surfer, now I'm a host too. Some of the most interesting people I've ever met have been fellow CouchSurfers! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I traveled across the USA for 6 months back in 2010, couchsurfing much of the way, meeting tons of new, interesting people who knew all the local secrets. I went to Burning Man in 2010 with a CS camp and it was incredible! Now I'm stationary for a bit and want to host some people! My vagabonding van trip would not have been nearly as fun without couchsurfers!
Музыка, кино и книги
John Steinbeck, Radiohead, the Doors, the Kinks, the Beach Boys, Three Amigos, Neil Young, the Beatles, and oh there's plenty more.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
I lived in a van for 6 months in 2010 traveling across North America. It was pretty great.
Учить, учиться, делиться
My work passion is solar energy. I've worked at a few solar startup companies in the past and now I'm off to get my PhD studying photovoltaics. I think I like this problem because I find the intersection of materials science, chemistry, physics, electronics, and engineering intellectually fascinating, but there's still a clear goal at the end of the day: convert more light into electricity. It's a practical science.
Мои интересы
Long distance running, biking, being outside, swimming, watching people surf (and surfing if I knew how...), working on cars I very much enjoy. Also, beer and other, uhh... intoxicants interest me.
