I'm a graduate student currently living in Minneapolis, Minnesota (but from Philadelphia) and studying Mechanical Engineering. My biggest passion in life is Ultimate Frisbee and I've played for many great teams, including some semi-professional teams. I will likely always have a frisbee on me and always interested in having a toss. After Ultimate, I love nature and challenging myself to beautiful and difficult hikes - the kind of hikes that only locals always seem to know.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I don't get to travel all that much (Oh, the life of the graduate student) but i'm very fortunate to have a job where I can get away once in awhile to present at conferences. I want to make the most of my travel opportunities by meeting people, seeing nature, eating food, etc..

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I can say I've played a professional sport! Although my paycheck pretty much just covered dinner for that day...

I've hiked from the top to the bottom and back to the top of the Grand Canyon in about half a day. The rangers advise against this, and after doing it, so do I.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Any frisbee throw you ever wanted to learn and just an open mind and good company.
