I'm a middle school gifted support teacher and father of two great kids.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people and help them on their journey.

Interests

I enjoy learning new things, such as computer programming on Coursera and math on Khan Academy. I'm a fan of all things tech, including Apple and Google products. I help people out on various online forums, especially MOOCs. I really just like to learn for the sake of learning -- I think I have 57 credits beyond my Master's Degree! I also like backpacking on the Appalachian Trail near my home and hiking with my Golden Retriever.
