ABOUT ME

Hi, couch surfers. When I'm not doing research I like to hang out with friends, try new restaurants, go to bars, listen to music/play music on guitar, and - of course - travel when I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Things tend to work themselves out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I consider myself a casual couch surfing user. I tend to keep pretty busy, but when I am traveling or when I am able to host travelers I really like what couch surfing has to offer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still pretty new to couch surfing but I'm getting there.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Musically, I like a lot of stuff. But my taste is very guitar-centric, e.g. Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer, Doug Raney.

I like to read books that supplement my research interests. Since I study topics like motivation and moral behavior, just about anything about social behavior (human or non-human) is relevant.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough question. I think a lot of things are amazing. Here are a few:
- ordering a cheeseburger that has the cheese perfectly melted and centered on the patty
- jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet
- someone calling you just as you happen to be thinking about him/her

It's hard to say which is more amazing...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share with you what it's like growing up in a really small town in upstate New York (population = 2000).

I can teach you about psychology and human behavior.

I would like to learn what it's like living in places I haven't had a chance to visit.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Canada, Fiji, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
