CURRENT MISSION

Maximize fun

ABOUT ME

I'm a very curious guy. I like to meet people and learn about nearly anything. I really like traveling and intend on seeing as many places as I can. My interests are mostly centered around computer programming, nutrition, exercise, writing, and economics.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to create things and to enjoy the creations of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosted a few times on a crazy cross-country bike trip I took. Now I'd like to give back by hosting some folks here in NYC.

I've been hosted in a few places, both urban and remote, but, wherever the location, I always end up meeting interesting people.

As a kid, I stood at the top of one of the World Trade Centers; looking at all the city of New York is probably the best thing I've ever seen.
