CURRENT MISSION

Finish grad school and see what I can while so doing.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty calm and laid back guy. Love books, movies, and music. The Mountain Goats are the best band in the world. I also love to bike, hike, and travel. But who doesn't?

PHILOSOPHY

Yes, please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people while traveling and at home.

Interests

Literature. I'm currently getting my MA in Literature, so I read voraciously.

I also have started biking a good bit this year. Got a road bike in January and want to do a couple of centuries this summer. Corvallis is a great place to bike around.

Music, Movies, and Books

As mentioned before, The Mountain Goats are the best band in the world. There are some other good ones, though: Iron and Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Tallest Man on Earth, Alt-J, etc.

I like films a lot. Especially indie stuff and German stuff.

Most of my reading centers on whatever classes I'm taking at the time, but my research area is Hunter S. Thompson. I like more contemporary stuff when reading for pleasure, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I carried a couch a mile to my apartment at night after I bought it for $25 on Craigslist.
