I type things on a laptop for a living.

I make terrible (TERRIBLE) puns and really like portmanteaus.

Food network enthusiast.

I am often covered in sawdust.

I like futzing around with something that makes a noise that I think I can turn into music.

I want to know how everything works. Literally. Not figuratively. Everything. Also, how to do everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I sold my house and all my stuff and am spending a while doing the digital nomad thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read voraciously, and before my Kindle, I had to repeatedly weed out my bookshelf. It was like Survivor. Many torches were extinguished.

I am constantly listening to podcasts: Freakonomics, misc NPR, Decode DC, 99% Invisible, Radiolab, Planet Money, etc.

I dig indie, rock, electronica and some classical. Also I like any instrument I can make a terrible racket with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

uhhhh I just kayaked the amazon rainforest, that was pretty neat.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE to learn and share what I know. I am constantly seeking to grow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking! I love cooking for people and hosting dinner parties. Plus I'm super handy if something falls apart while I'm there.
