Im a 36 year old married guy who likes to travel the world. My wife and I live in Madison, WI with our two dogs and one cat. I have been in school forever, and have returned to school to pursue a dual DVM/MPH degree after a 10 year career in research science. I'm an INFJ, which means that i'm an introvert who loves people, but hate crowds. I love deep conversations, but hate small talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel, and I like travelers. I enjoy sharing a sense of community, and I strongly believe that we get out of this world what we put into it. With that in mind, I would like to help relieve the burden of financial concerns from people while traveling by giving them a place to rest their weary heads while they travel. In turn, I hope people would reciprocate.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical interests are quite varied, but often include traditional and modern music from around the world, modern acoustic indie folk, electronic downtempo and ambient electronica. I really dig science fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My wife and I trekked in the upper mustang district of Nepal on our Honeymoon and had audience with the King of Lo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach probably any basic science. I can also teach people how to roller skate.
