About Me

I've had a lifelong love of learning: technology, physics, philosophy, people, history, economics. I'm always ready ready to meet new people and find new experiences.

I collaborate on open source software projects. I donate my skills to Cowboy Crossfit for Kids and Resiliency Project (for wounded vets). I'm a member of the Mises Institute (economics school) and Free Domain Radio (philosophy show).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, having interesting conversations and exploring different cultures.

Interests

I enjoy tinkering with hardware such as arduino, tessel, and other prototype boards. I like playing video games with my family and friends.
