Hi! My name is Matt and I love to explore! I am happiest when I'm mixed up in some crazy adventure with unknown outcomes. I live in Columbus, Ohio. And I make robots for a living, which is fun! I also like to spend time with friends, eat pizza (and other things), rock climb, and attend classes at the Columbus Cultural Arts Center.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's not about the free couch, it's all about all the amazing people you meet along the way. I've had so much fun surfing across the USA and hosting in Philadelphia and Cleveland. Also, I've met some amazing people through the CS meetups!

Interests

I love reading, playing music, listening to music, cooking, biking, sleeping. I love to backpack and rock climb as well.
Right now I'm really interested in biologically inspired robotics! So, if you are a robot or a friend to robots, feel free to pay me a visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and making breakfast with water from the Colorado River with my best friends on my birthday comes to mind... Pretty much every second I've spent in the canyons of southern Utah and northern Arizona have been amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm kind of an Origami master. I also like to play the guitar, piano, harmonica and tambourine. I'd love to learn some more blue riffs and how to play slide guitar. Also, I'd love to host some native German speakers in order to practice my German. It's gotten quite rusty over the years, though. :(

Also, if you are interested in robotics, hobby electronics, or "maker" type stuff in general, I would love to collaborate! Who wants to build a tube amp?!
