CURRENT MISSION

I have 24 hours to save the captured president from New York, the largest maximum security prison.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently 24 Earth years old, and reside in Philadelphia, north of chinatown. I moved down to this area from Massachusetts to work my soul crushing day job at Amtrak, America's national intercity/long distance rail company. My education is in electrical engineering, and I enjoy biking and reading in my free time. Also I'm a vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

Make life totally sweet, don't get stuck behind a desk for 40 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just moved into my apartment a few weeks ago, and right now we dont have anything hospitable for you, but as soon as we get a couch I'll change this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Totally awesome, met two people traveling in Europe and they were totally fun and hospitable. I'd like to repay the experience to other people.

Interests

Making electrical trinkets, reading, biking around Philadelphia, homebrewing mead and beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love scifi novels and traditional fiction. Favorite books in no particular order are Walden, by Thoreau, any book by Thomas Pynchon, The Foundation Series by Asimov, Hyperion by Dan Simmons, On the Road/The Dharma Bums/Big Sur by Jack Kerouac, anything by Vonnegut, the Dune series, Moby Dick, I'm sure there are plenty others...

I'm also mostly into power metal, but I do enjoy electronic music and chiptunes a lot too. My favorite metal bands are Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, Dark Moor, Kamelot, Iron Maiden, Sonata Arctica, Jag Panzer, etc etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a three day sailing trip, hiked a few mountains... I dunno, nothing too out there yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could probably teach some stuff about electronics, but my current job is very non-technical so I feel like I've been out of practice. I'd be totally interested in talking to someone about homebrewing wines, meads, or beers.
