ABOUT ME

Positive social risk taker, life experiencer, conversationalist. Feeling alive doing what I love, connecting! I just finished grad school at Penn State studying Learning, Design, and Technology and just got married to my best friend in August 2013. Here is a link to a TEDx talk that I gave about the concept of "positive social risks" https://youtu.be/pyWrZceeKNE

And here is a link to my both my passion and my profession: www.weand.me

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I believe the world is filled with good people not seen on the news and conversations that matter are created when those people meet. ALSO, my wife and I are currently on a 3 month road trip around the U.S. (www.weand.me/tour)

That is why I designed We! Connect Cards which just got funded on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/we-connect-cards/we-connect-cards-create-conversations-that-matter)

兴趣

SCUBA diving, tinkering with technology, caving, adventuring with my wife. If I'm being intentional, just about anything can peak my curiosity.

Lately, I've really been into startups and entrepreneurship as I grow my own facilitation and consulting company (www.weand.me).

音乐、电影和书籍

I usually choose my music based on Pandora stations and I find myself coming back to the Iron & Wine station over and over again.

Books: I just finishing co-authoring a book with my advisor titled a "Pocket Guide to Facilitating Human Connections." I'll happily share a copy with you when our paths cross :-)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Got engaged to my wife, Kate, underwater while SCUBA diving off the coast of Mexico. Really, our dive master had a GoPro and filmed it: https://youtu.be/w8wqv5SM4c0

教，学，和分享

I am ultra passionate about experiential education and facilitation. It is what I do for both a living and a hobby. Would love to share.

"Everyone and everything around you is your teacher" is one of my favorite quotes. Looking forward to listening and learning.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A book I wrote called a Pocket Guide to Facilitating Human Connections that is all about experiential learning and facilitating moments that matter for individuals, groups, and organizations.

Would love to let We! Connect Cards™ spark some of our conversation as well.
