ABOUT ME

We are recent college graduates living in Berkeley, CA. I studied engineering at UC Berkeley, while Evan studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute.

PHILOSOPHY

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

- The 80's

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Books: thick impressive volumes, preferably the tasty ones . . . you got to love a good Pinter play, Harry Potter on audio cassette (wink) . . .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We are high school sweet hearts, together for seven plus years, and completely terrified.

Evan beat Amy Pistone at horse, and then she broke his nose with the basketball. It wasn't that amazing, but it sure was funny.

Teach, Learn, Share

Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich.
But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down.
Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it.

- Bill Murray (Rushmore)

But seriously, we are avid learners and teachers of art and science. We love music and sharing our interests with others.
