One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Landed a cargo plane during a blizzard at night in Narsarsuaq, Greenland. It was actually pretty fun just a little nerve racking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak German! And I'm an FAA certified flight instructor and airline pilot..so if you want to learn how to fly, I can probably help with that haha.

I also just love exploring where I currently live, LA, on my motorcycle. If that's something you're interested in we should give it a shot. I have a cool group of people I ride with pretty much weekly.

I'm learning to surf!! I live next to the ocean so I think it's pretty much a sin to not finally figure out how to surf. I try to go before work at least twice a week. Let me know if you can throw some pointers my way.

I love learning about people's culture, way of life, and unique outlooks on life. Pretty much an open book and sponge so don't shy away.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of energy for exploring and going out, along with some laid-back, low-maintenance, humorous company during the downtime. Or just some company for having a good time getting food or drinks! I do enjoy getting into deeper convo's (see my bio) about pretty much anything from theoretical physics, to politics, to what your favorite sushi joint in Tokyo is (I have a preference).
