Hmm... I like to travel, I like to meet cool people, I live in Pittsburgh. My apartment's a mess, but I have two couches and a cot, so I can put up random people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd rather interact with real people than stay in a hotel any day. I usually stay in hostels when I travel, but I'm checking this out, now! And I have some space to put up guests now, too.

Interests

I'm a scientist (or maybe more engineer some days), a teacher, a dad, an activist, and a outdoors-y person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing? That's asking a lot. But reasonably cool: I've climbed some big mountains, travelled lots of interesting places and sorta learned the language, done a Ph.D., gone through a divorce and come out friends on the other side.
