Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to be a source of silly, intellectual, genuine experience.
ABOUT ME
Born and raised in small town, Arizona. I lived in Fort Collins for 8 years, working on my B.S. and M.S. in environmental engineering. I had a brief stint in Crested Butte, ski bumming. I moved to Houston area briefly for work, then New Jersey for work, now heading back to Houston for love. I like bouldering and biking (road and mountain) and boardgames and books and beer.
PHILOSOPHY
Be gentle.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To build community.
Interests
I really like bikes. I've bikepacked a couple months in the Andes, a couple months in the Rockies, and a couple weeks in the Sierra Nevada.
I like boardgames. Think Carcassonne, Race for the Galaxy, Through the Ages, Imperial Settlers, Caverna, Terra Mystica.
Snowboarding. More recently, paragliding. Bouldering/climbing is a big one too.
