About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Obtain a PhD in the next 876 years

ABOUT ME

I'm an organizational psychologist. That means I help business select, understand, and develop their employees.

I am pretty quiet, a little awkward, and have maybe been accused of being a hipster. But most important to couch surfers, I am pretty much in love with living in Chicago. you should probably hang out with me if you want to hear about how awesome my city is.

PHILOSOPHY

I grew up very close to nature, but live for the city. I think many people see a false dichotomy in appreciating our natural surroundings, but living in an urban center. Biking provides us with an opportunity to be connected with the world, and the people therein while respecting each other and the planet upon which we live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had two hosts, and a few guests. I've been amazed by how much CS'ers have in common. Everyone has been so interesting. The last time I travelled Couchsurfing was probably the best part of my trip.

It's been a little over a year since I last hosted a guest. This is because I moved and live in a smaller space now. However, I have missed it, and want to meet some more interesting people.

Interests

Bikes. Music. Art. Interesting people. These are some of my favorite things. Fortunately for me, traveling affords the opportunity to experience all simultaneously. Unfortunately, I don't get to travel as much as I would like to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mostly indie or electronic rock.
Movies: Thoughtful, interesting, delightfully ironic.
Books: All of the above.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm still learning bicycle maintenance. I'm learning more through experience.

I play with stereos and speakers quite a bit. I could teach you things about audio equipment, if that happens to be a thing you want to learn.
