CURRENT MISSION

Learn the important stuff, which isn't what they teach you in school

ABOUT ME

Los Angeles might be enormous, but it's boundaries are certainly not adequate for me. I've had the pleasure of growing up in Montana, and studying and living in New Zealand, Germany, and France. I travel whenever I can, and I've got a lot of interests like music and photography, but my career is a mix between working as a technician on film crews and piloting airplanes and helicopters (I am a flight instructor). I look forward to building a career that will take me back to Europe, or new places around the world...

PHILOSOPHY

There is no right or wrong way to live, but what's good for one person isn't always good for another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing is fun and beneficial, and hosting is an enriching experience. But it's the CS community in various cities and worldwide that continues to inspire me. I think it's very important not only to make quick connections with strangers, but lasting ones within communities as well, and I'd like to continue to do more of that.

Interests

my dog, helicopters and airplanes, foreign languages, human psychology, coffee, hammocks, gadgets, movies, politics and economics, attempting to cook, motorcycles, unicycles, hitchhiking, camping, scuba diving, and taking pictures of things I appreciate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Under a full moon, I walked across the dusty, pitted surface of an enormous crater at 4 am to watch the sunrise from the top of a volcano, where I met a new friend.
