I am a science and technology teacher, originally from Texas, currently living in Chicago, IL in the US. I have in 7 US states as well as Guadalajara, Jalisco in Mexico. I love to travel, explore street and rustic foods, scuba dive and spearfish, among a lot of other things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that traveling is made immensely better by genuine experiences with local people that don't involve tourist traps. I'm excited to meet new folks on CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything sci-fi or fantasy. Pratchett, Dick, Weiss & Hickman, and so on. I'm a huge fan of sci-fi and fantasy movies, as well. I also enjoy reading speculative fiction and non-fiction accounts of political and environmental issues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving renewed my passion for environmental conservation, education and science all in one go. I can't recommend the experience enough.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always happen to share whatever I can. I love to play board games, go to films, help cook meals and share a pint while swapping personal stories.
