ABOUT ME

When I'm not busy surfing or playing with my dog, I'm all about Usher in the new age of decentralized, renewable energy.

The threat of global warming is the biggest mankind has ever faced, and the ingenuity required of professionals from different disciplines to collaborate in studying the environmental ramifications of energy production and consumption is enormous. The problem of sustainability cuts across economics, engineering, and social elements. I believe that a concerted effort is necessary, as it cannot simply be solved within one sector (business, technology, or government). This is where my interdisciplinary degree in Natural Resource Management, MBA, and the expertise I have gained through consulting will prove their worth.

PHILOSOPHY

"In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still figuring this part out

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a couch surfer my whole life, I just never knew there was a term for it and an awesome website like this to bring like together. Nothing beats the freedom and flexibility of being exactly where you want to be, with exactly who you'd want to be there with. That's how I define CSing. I'm also a big fan of mini-RV'ing it too, more like Volvo wagon style with a YMCA card.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A sunrise over the Agean in Greece... A surprised tortoise looking up at me in the middle of the Pacific in Hawaii... Moonlight above and a bioluminescent sea below my feet in the Cortez...

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has something to teach- I think I like it best when it comes from (what I'd consider) the most unlikely of sources.
