I am a web developer who just wrapped up a nine year undergraduate career at Purdue University studying aerospace engineering! I have traveled all across the US and love backcountry camping in national parks. When I am not out traveling I am busy either playing rugby, frequenting local breweries, or being a nerd.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because when traveling I have slept in my car or a wet tent enough times already. I appreciate getting to meet new people and learning about their experiences and life! Plus when in a new city it's always great to have someone to share a beer with!

Interests

Avid reader, athlete, independent software developer, talented fisherman. I brew my own beer, sing a merry drinking song like the dwarves of Erebor, a video game nerd, and a craftsman.

Music, Movies, and Books

Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, Mr. Robot, Westworld, Lord of the Rings, Inception, How to Train Your Dragon, and any other movie you can name. I watch too many. Books I'm currently reading include Kitchen Confidential, Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Seven Years in Tibet, and a few of Hunter S. Thompson's works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon with my feet dangling off drinking a pint of beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A beer and an evening of lively conversation about my many experiences, whether it be surviving five days stranded in the Badlands with monsoon rain, hiking in Yellowstone, fishing in the Everglades, or eating lunch next to Philip Seymour Hoffman in NYC.
