About Me

Most of the time, I build children’s museums and science museums! I love teaching and learning, petting all the dogs, cooking, hiking (used to be a backcountry guide in Yosemite and all over the u.s. East coast!), playing ultimate frisbee, and community organizing! Love CS and all the good souls on here; hope to meet you all and and sleep on many a floor/couch along the way. Solidarity y’all!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So much open mindedness. It's hard to fear the stranger after you've slept on their floor and eaten their guacamole.

Interests

Books, museums, building stuff (im a mechanical engineer and carpenter if you need help around the house!), ultimate frisbee, hiking and bopping around :) I'm always down to talk about gear, or just go to REI and, like... look at gear I can't afford. I do lots of community and climate justice organizing so I’ll always talk revolution
