I'm a 6th grade math teacher who takes time in the summer to travel and see new places. I'm a skateboarder, fisherman, and artist with my free time back home. My trip this time around takes me across the U.S. on Amtrak!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I don't have to find a ditch or bridge to sleep under (although I have done it before). And most importantly to meet cool, like minded people.

Interests

Skateboarding, fishing, making art, building random things, and perfecting my teaching craft.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything and anything. I'll try to name a few, but I will be most definitely leaving some out...

Music:
Built to Spill
Hank Williams
STRFKR
Toro y Moi
Wu-Tang
Death
Slayer
Any classical music really, I've been really into the Moonlight Sonata recently.

Movies:
I'm a huge Star Wars nerd. Not a huge movie buff, but I do enjoy going to the movies.

Current read:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skated miles down a hill into Death Valley, surrounded by golden mountains, as the sun was setting, leaving a beautiful blue and orange gradient across the sky.
