Overview
About Me
Hi there! I'm an entrepreneur and traveling a lot to conferences and meetings to grow my startup. I love to discuss science, technology, philosophy, and existence. Really into meditation, outer space, and experiencing everything life has to offer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Looking to travel the world on a bootstrapped entrepreneur budget. I'd rather spend my money on great dinners and fun activities. I also want to make lasting friends around the world!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading, mainly epic fantasies/sci-fi and philosophy books. The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss are my favorite books, along with Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. Non-fiction favorites include Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. Recently started working through classical philosophy works by Plato, Marcus Aurelius, and Cicero.
I like many different types of music, but my top 5 favorite artists include Interpol, Lana Del Rey, Empire of the Sun, Sonata Arctica, and Lady Gaga.
For movies, I again love epic fantasies, like Lord of the Rings, but I also really enjoy movies with high intrigue, complex storylines, and deep thought, like Interstellar and Ex Machina.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I flew out onto the Greenland Ice Sheet to set up research stations.
