About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be kind.

ABOUT ME

Lake scientist turned professional measurer of the wind. I was super active on Couchsurfing in my early/mid-twenties (2009-2014) when I was spending as much time abroad as at home. These days I’m settling into family life in Sacramento with my wife and new son. Looking forward to lending a comfortable resting spot for young-at-heart and curious travelers of all stripes. Also looking forward to eventually CS’ing with our son and helping him learn to see the best in strangers.
