Musician, improviser, explorer. By day I'm a software engineer in San Francisco - if you've seen Silicon Valley, that's an accurate depiction of my world.

I travel light and try to keep a low footprint as a guest. I tend towards listening and collaboration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to travel at ground level - I'd much rather meet locals than stay at hotels with other tourists :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to give piano lessons, yo-yo lessons (really), programming lessons.

Love talking music, physics, and armchair philosophy.
