My wife and I love to travel, walk/bike around new cities, enjoy live music, museums, coffee shops, and relaxing. Meeting interesting people along the way is always a plus!

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC - I listen to music of a wide variety of genres. I play mostly jazz, and create experimental music that often fuses a number of different styles, from electronic to rock to jazz to avant-garde.

BOOKS... I'll just name some random authors I really like: Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Salinger, Fitzgerald, Bradbury, Murakami, Vonnegut, Strugatski, Lem, Asimov, Bulgakov...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the Half Dome hike... Took 12 hours. Couldn't walk for a few days afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach piano, clarinet, guitar, as well as music theory, beat-making, and audio production -- will gladly share whatever wisdom I can with guests and hosts. I am now an iOS developer, and can share info about that as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge and experience with music, iOS and web development, rock climbing... Good conversation.
