I'm a small-town boy from near Seattle, with an inordinate interest in language, culture, games, mathematics, music, what have you! I want to get out there in the world and keep seeing knew things and learning things I never would have otherwise known.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think the #1 best thing you can do in life, besides studying hard and expressing yourself, is to meet and learn from new people as often as possible.

Interests

I'm interested in creating things that others experience and I think that creativity is what makes us human.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything we've ever done is amazing if we take the time to realize it.

Every now and then I have this moment where I look back at myself and think: "When did I actually start riding horses? When did I actually learn to play the piano? When did I actually start speaking Japanese?"

The most amazing thing I've done is live, and I plan to keep doing it.
