I am graduate student at the University of Nevada where I study Ecology. Having recently moved west from the East Coast, I am loving the expansive public land, and the ruggedness of the Northern Sierra's.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy the ideal of a community of travelers mutually sharing hospitality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have not had time to read fiction recently, the rigors of graduate school leave me firmly planted in the realm of non-fiction. The story is the same for movies, to distracted to pay attention to those I have seen recently. My musical tastes are wide-ranging from garage (modern and original) to old-time string band music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent a week in the Appalachian mountains taking a course in building a mountain dulcimer from a master craftsman and contra dancing every night
