CURRENT MISSION

Seek awesomeness

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance tutor, so I'm very busy seasonally. If I have some spare time I'm very happy to show you the parts of NYC that I know, but those are usually the food joints and geeky places like Columbia's campus and museums. I'm perhaps an excessively casual person, in personality, dress code, and so on. I enjoy a stiff drink like the next person but I'll usually still try to figure out one of the many puzzles and problems that I like to give myself.

PHILOSOPHY

If anything could be my philosophy, I'd say it's a philosophy of work. Pretty much the main thing I care about is doing something that I value.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted, will host, have surfed, and will surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of my favorite books these days are non-fiction on Math and Science. I like a wide range of movies from Sound of Music to Coen Brothers films. With music, it's usually indie shit and country. Every now and then I'll be in a mood for some punk, rap, jazz, or something.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm more interested in what's next, but a lot of my favorite stuff so far has been interesting stuff in Math/Science/Philosophy. I've also enjoyed some fun times abroad, boating across the Adriatic and going to an Sunday service in Dublin while super fucking hung over.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely show you the parts of Math and Science that I think are the most mind-bendy. We can do the whole "How do we know we're not just brains in vats?" conversation.
