Hi all, I'm currently teaching statistics at UW-Madison, where I got my master's. I did my undergrad at the University of Rochester in math + physics, but I grew up in Vancouver, Canada (west coast best coast :) If you're a genuine person who isn't afraid to embrace your unique self, including all your quirks and idiosyncrasies, then we will get along famously!

P.S. I play a mean game of backgammon and a mediocre game of chess, if that interests you...

P.P.S. Please read my entire profile before messaging me. Copy/pasted requests will be denied. New profiles with incomplete bios and no references will be denied. This is a community for people who love to travel and make unexpected friends, not just a free airbnb, so please respect it. Thank you.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love epic fantasy and fictional autobiographies. Favorite authors include Rothfuss, Sanderson, Machado de Assis, and Pessoa. Currently reading Quincas Borba, Book of Disquiet, How Not to Be Wrong, and Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Music-wise, I listen to literally everything, including rock, metal, jazz, ambient, folktronica, vaporwave, etc. Feel free to recommend me more music, I'm always looking to explore new genres.

My favorite films are all on my Letterboxd profile: https://letterboxd.com/shadowfreud/likes/films/ (follow me!)
Current favorite directors: Farhadi, Lanthimos, Östlund, Kieślowski, Pawlikowski, Kaurismäki, Zvyagintsev, Kore-eda etc.
