I'm a self-employed physician in San Francisco. I'm an avid marathon runner, having run a full marathon in 30 states and 2 countries since 2007. I love following professional tennis and college basketball. I enjoy concerts, hikes, beaches, theme parks and festivals (especially ones on chocolate), and anything Hawaiian.

I studied Spanish for 5 years in high school and early college almost 20 years ago! It's gotten rusty over time, but it's enough to get by as a tourist in Spanish-speaking countries. Any opportunity to practice it would be great.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've enjoyed meeting people who he's hosted from around the world. I realized I love playing tour guide in the Bay Area much more than I expected, introducing visitors to my favorite places for coffee, dining, sweets, hiking, sunsets, thrill rides and more.
