Central Valley kid who made the move to San Francisco. I am a mechanical engineer in the building design/construction industry, primarily in the health care sector. I'd like to think I am slightly above average in the social arena for an engineer, but you can decide. In my spare time, I love to cycle in the Marin headlands near SF, camp, and ride motorcycles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to enter into a new community of travelers; meet new people that stay at my place and as I travel around.

Interests

From a young age, I loved any activity that involved a ball; soccer, volleyball, football, you name it. Throughout the years, that has morphed into a passion for meeting people through being active.

• motorcycles
• traveling
• backpacking
• snowboarding
• engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most country music that was released prior to 2011 (the year Taylor Swift and Florida Georgia Line ruined country). I grew up going to hardcore shows so I'm familiar with moshing, but grew out of that phase. Needtobreathe.

I'm a Star Wars trivia buff. Love the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, but feel that the Hobbit trilogy was overkill.

Unbroken, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, Crazy Love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode motorcycles for 4 days in the Colorado Rockies

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my passion for cooking and deep conversations. I love sharing meals with people and inviting them into my story, while hopefully providing a space to hear their story. I can share my competitive nature over a game of Settlers of Catan.

Countries I’ve Visited

Azerbaijan, Costa Rica, England, Portugal, Spain, Turkey
