CURRENT MISSION

To confirm the existence of interesting and benevolent peoples outside my home sphere.

ABOUT ME

I grew up the majority of my 25 years in the great state of Maryland, though I've also lived in New York, Chicago, and San Diego.

After graduating the University of Maryland, I worked for a short time at Merrill Lynch, only to leave to explore the restaurant business in Chicago for a year. Not quite convinced that I was ready to stay in the restaurant biz, I decided to apply to law school in the fall.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe you learn a lot about a person from what makes them laugh.

I believe that a good meal is one of the best catalysts for human interaction.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nada! I'm brand new to this.

Interests

Spurts of calming lucidity. A genuine belief. Colorful vulgarities. Unmitigated laughter. Devastating accuracy. Unprompted generosity. Any phrase ending in 'sandwich'. Uncharted territory. Sleepless nights. Impromptu expeditions. The art of giving. Liquid bread. Antihistamines. English, Chinese, Spanish. Braving the elements. Artful indulgence.
