Hi! My name is Aaron and I am originally from San Francisco, CA but have lived in Napa, CA for the majority of my life. I am a recent college graduate of the University of Arizona. I studied finance at the Eller College of Management.

One of the most memorable experiences of my college career was traveling to Fortaleza, Ceará. I completed the first semester of my upper division business classes with a group of 50 other students from Eller. This Global Cohort to place during the summer of 2017 and I got to visit other parts of the Brazil such as Jericoacoara, the Amazon, Canoa Quebrada, and Rio de Janeiro.

I’m currently studying to become an actuary in New York City. I hope to be working full time by June of this year. In the meantime, I will be solo traveling to different parts of Italy for two weeks and would love to meet up with others during my trip!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I have played the piano for 10+ years. Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to play much since I’ve been so busy with my career.

My favorite genre of music is EDM; some of my favorite artists include Flume, Kasbo, Seven Lions, Illenium, Gryffin, Louis the Child, Whethan, RL Grime, and many more! I love listening to the different sub- genres of dance and electronic music. I also enjoy attending music festivals and DJ performances at different performance venues and nightclubs.

In addition to electronic music I am also passionate about Hip Hop, Rock, and alternative music. One of my all time favorite artists is Radiohead.

In regards to movies, my favorite film directors are Quentin Tarantino, followed by Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese. Some of my favorite films include Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Birdman, Whiplash, any Tarantino Film, Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street, and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Developed an elaborate plan, gathered necessary finances, tools, and resources, and executed the construction of a 500 foot split-rail fence at a local church in Napa, CA. I did this for my community project to reach the rank of Eagle Scout.
