I'm not left brained or right brained. My interests straddle the border quite well. I'm a data scientist with strong interests in jazz and various kinds of metal, and read a lot in my spare time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine mentioned it as an option when traveling, and I figure it's a great way to meet interesting people.

Interests

I read a lot, play bass, and am a metalhead in all but name. I like traveling and planning trips to out-of-the-way places.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some statistics, and I'm sure you'll be able to teach me about many things I know nothing about. I'm also a proud trivia geek, so if you want free drinks, we can do bar trivia together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've been told I'm very good at giving recommendations for things to do in Seattle. Whether it's concert venues, pinball, dive bars, or hidden spots around Pike Place, I can help you have the best Seattle trip you could dream of.
