** I know my response rate looks bad but I've been inactive for a while and am very excited to start engaging with people! ** (November 2016)

I'm a nice guy but I like giving people a hard time. I like having fun. I like helping people. I like being responsible about as much as I like being irresponsible as long as nobody loses a limb. Being outdoors is awesome. Walking the city. Talking to strangers. Making paper airplanes. Drinking beer. Especially IPAs. I love baseball.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a great experience with couchsurfing in three different countries while I was travelling abroad several years ago and I'd like to give back to the CS community by hosting. And I'd really love to meet fellow travelers of the world, especially since travel is difficult from me right now and so I can do so vicariously through you!

Interests

Lighting storms, wind through canyons, the moon, sleeping under the stars, walking alone though city streets at 4am, meditation.
