CURRENT MISSION

Get a PhD, and teach engineering to others someday.

ABOUT ME

I'm happiest when I'm working on some major goal. When I worked after my master degree for eight years, I started getting bored after about three years. I decided that I needed to go back to school again.

I've been married for seven years. My wife, Wendy, and I have a 2 year old daughter, Pearl.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just pretty thankful to be alive. I think a lot of things had to happen just right in the universe for me to be here right now. I don't take (or try not to take) life for granted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to it right now. I'll keep you posted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

Interests

Engineering, writing, recording, and listening to music, my family and friends, airports, meeting new friends, taking on new challenges.

• writing
• concerts
• music
• engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, funk, alternative, electro-jazz, and just about everything else. I love seeing music in small venues for some reason. I like when bands write their own music.

I like mystery, suspense, and comedy movies the most. I enjoy many types of documentaries too. However, when an action movie has a final scene that is like 30 minutes long, I start to get antsy and lose interest. How much action does one really need in a movie? Apparently the more the betta for everyone but me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been fortunate to see a lot of cool things. I've seen both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and many places in-between. I once saw Midnight Oil in concert-amazing show! Still need to work on seeing other places in the world, but we'll need to wait until I'm not a broke college student!

Teach, Learn, Share

Before becoming a grad student (again), I was an engineer. Actually I still am since I continue to pay my professional registration dues... I'm good at it and I'm doing basically what I'm supposed to be.
