I teach math and physics at an international school in Switzerland. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities which we have plenty of opportunity to do in the Bernese Oberland. I live with my wife and two young children.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like the chance to get to know people in different places when I travel without my family which occurs rarely.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kinds of music so it's hard to pinpoint anything. My favorite author is Neil Stephenson. I also enjoy other nerdy science fiction books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just biked over the Grosse Scheidegg which required a 1300 m ascent and was also the longest bike ride I've ever done. It was beautiful, but it didn't feel very good on my body.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am interested in permaculture, but I don't know as much about it as I would like - it would be interesting to have conversations about it though. Of course I could teach about math and physics as it's my job, but many people wouldn't want that :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences traveling around the world and teaching in Maine and Switzerland.
