CURRENT MISSION

See as much as I can, experience all there is to experience, and just BE.

ABOUT ME

I'm an engineer/flight controller at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. I'm originally from Colorado, and moved to Houston after school 6 years ago. I'm not your typical Rocket Scientist, I rock climb, ski, camp, climb really big mountains (Kili - 2003(Marangu) and 2006 (Shira)!) And I travel ALOT! But I still have a lot more to see.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all good people. American, European, Japanese, Middle Eastern, whatever. Stereotypes are ugly things and I have no space for them in my life. People should be seen for who they show themselves to be, not the country on their passport. Oh, and not everyone likes to talk about politics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

I like comedy movies, and the occasional Jane Austen love story. I love historical fiction books. Music, uh well, my radio is usually on in the car but I couldn't tell you what the song is or who sang it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I raised $5,000 for a children's hospital in Arusha Tanzania by pledging to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. I got to witness the gratitude, hospitality and love of the Maasai people for my efforts.

I have now climbed Kilimanjaro twice!
