I'm a researcher in the fields of mental health and public health. I live in Southern California, where I like to eat, hike, surf, and fly the occasional airplane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot, and I find the best way to get to know a new place is by getting to know the people who actually live there. What better way than couch surfing?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hit Patrick Ewing in the knee with a shopping cart. (Before he retired!) (It was an accident!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to speak Spanish, English, or Italian. (If you just want to learn bad words, we can do that, too.) I can also teach you to play the guitar, the bass, the mandolin, or even the banjo (though the banjo is rusty).

I can also teach you a whole hell of a lot about mental health, psychotropic drugs, and research methods. They're heady topics, but it is what I do all day, after all, so there you go.
