ABOUT ME

UCSB for Computer Science, PhD
Laid Back, Southern California Kid
Proud member of Phi Delta Theta, (California Delta Chapter)
Proud former Trojan! Fight on!

Burnt myself playing Water Polo in high school (6 years of it). Love Volleyball though and know how to play Lacrosse.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to be happy about what life throws at me. I love travelling, but I am perfectly happy staying in and watching my favorite TV show for the 5th time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Ghent, Utrecht and Amsterdam (on a backpacking trip) and loved being hosted! I learned how to love cities through the eyes of people who live in them.

Interests

I'm quite addicted to surfing, though my skills haven't quite caught up with my interest.
I'm big into computers, coding and tech (that's what I study).
Longboarding.
I love a good beer or good wine, especially those I haven't tried before.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite TV show is Psych, I LOL watching by myself... I like detective shows like Sherlock, Luther, Brooklyn Nine-nine. HIMYM.

Movies - I dig zombie movies, especially funny ones.

I love bebop, cool jazz, blues(in moderation), swing, big-band, all types of latin as well as classical.
I mostly listen to Electronic music these days, and have dabbled in a bit of production. Let me see if you've heard some of the music I like?

Books - Fermat's Last Theorem, The Giver, Ender's Game, Eugene Onegin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Surfed Rincon Point in Santa Barbara, CA amongst pods of bottlenose dolphins, sharks and seals.

I've been to over 40 states in the United States of America. So many amazing things: Seeing the glaciers in Tracy's Arm, Alaska. Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park. 300ft Redwoods in Sequoia National Park. Sierra Nevada Mountain Range & Mt. Whitney. Punchbowl Falls outside San Deigo, CA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've visited 41 states and if you have any interest in seeing the United States I can give you all the information that I have.

I can cook (reasonably well) and love to bake if I have the materials.

I geek out over Math, Science, and if you need something coded, I'm your man.

I can share firsthand knowledge on American Fraternities.
