I work for UMASS Medical School and I live in Medford. I'm a pretty laid-back guy. Political speaking I'm pretty far left of center. I'd like to think I can get along with people on different parts of the political spectrum, but I understand people might prefer like-minded people when they are inviting strangers into their home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a couple of couch surfers and it went pretty well. I'm looking to do some travailing in the next year and I may need to be a couch surfer my self.
