Engineer and artist from Upstate New York interested in humanitarian engineering. I've worked at Corning Inc., done research at Stanford studying glacial ice sheet changes and sea-level rise, and am currently a student at SUNY University at Buffalo. Outside of work, I'm an avid hiker (I've climbed all 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks), ride a motorcycle, and play the guitar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share
