As a Wyoming native, I find even the most desolate place exotic and brimming with potential.

How about some personal facts? My favorite color is green. I prefer stairs to elevators. Cycling is a passion as well as backpacking.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the absolutes of love, logic and passion. Activities and people that allow me to experience all three, at any given moment, are the adventures I seek.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By existing on this website I hope to be able to give somebody else the chance to know about the CS project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a fantastic gal named Danielle in Madison, WI. She was so helpful and even lent her bike out for the day so I could tour around and see the city.
A young man named Chris crashed on my couch back in April and after he officially moved to Fort Collins, we became friends. I've had the pleasure of many bike rides and beers with him.
On a file note: if ever you have a chance to meet Banjammer and his family in Eugene, OR---do so. I couldn't have asked for a more friendly and engaging group of people to meet upon my first arrival.

Interests

Wow. Well, if you'd like to have a conversation I can share all of them, but I can definitely list the top favorites.
Outdoor buff: Cycling, hiking/snowshoeing, skiing (most all forms)...the list continues. I've recently become a "Cross-Fitter" and have started some olympic weightlifting, which I find to be a great mental break from the long hours of studying mathematics. For some cognitive quirks: Reading books on Julius Caesar and Ghengis Khan (I'm fascinated by history), Mad-Libs and jokes.
I thoroughly enjoy studying mathematics and am eager to continue my education. Dorky facts are things I certainly enjoy sharing with anybody interested in a good grin.

Music, Movies, and Books

If you hear a bass line, a good drum tempo, or a get-down-and boogie bluegrass rhythm, with a turn of your head you'll probably see me on the dance floor. By heart though, I must admit that I am an electronic junkie---synth bass, fast tempos, trance melodies and house music move me.

From bluegrass to electronica, orchestral music and even dubstep: I believe music is one of the best means of expression.

Oscar Wilde and William Faulkner are two of my favorites. Conn Iggulden and Thomas Hardy, to name a few more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam in a Glacial Lake just hours before witnessing a full moon rise over the peaks of Montana.

Officially did a barrel roll in an aircraft and quoted star fox "Do a barrel roll" just prior to it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learn a new language as well as how to do a handstand without support of a wall.

I love to teach---mathematics, logic, swimming, basic music theory.

As for sharing---the more the merrier.
