I love connections, found in the mundane and the wild. A long evening walk, an expressive cocktail, music, hikes, remote landscapes. Capturing some beautiful sensation in a photo. Long stories, new friendships, interesting conversations.

More practically, I love photography, (http://hoyt.smugmug.com/), mixology and making cocktail bitters, hiking, skiing, backpacking, and traveling. I work at Dato (dato.com) with a fantastic group of friends solving some really hard problems at the corners of math and science. I relax with a experimental Manhattan recipe and a good science fiction book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and make new friends, and I love entertaining.
