California -> Incheon, South Korea -> Shanghai, China -> Austin, TX.

I work at a tech company downtown Austin, brew my own beer, infuse alcohol, hike in the Greenbelt and travel at every opportunity. I spent four years living in different corners of the globe, from Singapore to South Korea to Shanghai, China. I'm back in the United States looking to do exciting things in America's fastest growing city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling frequently again, for fun and for work, and looking for opportunities to meet locals, expats and other travelers in the places that I'm going. Interested in meeting new people to check out restaurants, bars and cool places on my journeys around the world.

Interests

Craft beer
Movies (I really enjoy seeing movies while I'm traveling for some reason).
Live music, particularly, funk music
Travel (duh)
Photography
Collecting antique maps (super nerdy, I know).
