关于我
Using words to describe a person seems to set boundaries and limit them. However, I am a young man analyzing and trying to remain aware of my transition into maturity. I keep a notebook in my back pocket and hope to write a book someday. It's got a lot of trippy stuff in it but I let anyone read it. I'm very open-minded. I believe the more perspectives one can experience the better. It helps me understand humanity and my part in it.
I graduated with degrees in Civil Engineering from Santa Clara University in northern California. I couldn't adjust to the 12-hour work day so I moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and adopted a dog named Django.
Mostly I say life is long so I plan on enjoying it cause I could be here a while.
我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
I will be living in Israel for 5 months starting early February. I've arranged most details through a Masa program. Most likely I'll be living in Tel Aviv and learning teaching methods with high school age Israelites. I plan on arriving a week early, February 1st and the program starts February 9th. I worry the program will be too structured and perhaps even sheltering me from a true "living in Israel" experience. I would love to meet some locals couch surfing
兴趣
I am an outdoor enthusiast raised in Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, and California. I rock climb well, hike nearly everyday, and snowboard. Hiking is a way of getting around here in Jackson Hole. I enjoy multi-day backpacking treks. I white water river raft often in the summer. I wouldn't say I'm not an ego hiker/backpacker. I'm more about the winding trail than the view from the top.
I was a big partier in college and after so I've got some stories to tell. But I don't drink like that anymore. I got myself into too much trouble and dangerous situations. I still enjoy partying. I just drink 10 glasses of water instead of 10 beers.

音乐、电影和书籍
Rock and roll. I listen to all of the Black Keys. I chill to artists like Local Natives and Radiohead. I watch comedies and action movies like any guy my age. I try to pick up a classic book whenever I'm at a loss to choose something more intense. Catcher in the Rye, Frankenstein, Animal Farm, Cannery Row, classics like that. Otherwise I seek out books with a lot of existentialism like Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions of a Reluctant Messiah. I dig poetry too. Can't write it but love a good non-rhyming poem.
我做过的一件不可思议的事情
I ran/snuck into Coachella music festival all three days last year.
教,学,和分享
In civil engineering, we were taught to design to the nearest 0.001 inch then we would multiply by 3 to make every structure 3 times stronger than necessary. So most bridges and buildings in the USA are designed 3 times stronger than engineering says in necessary.
