I currently live in Ann Arbor, Michigan with my wife and son. I work for an online learning start-up called HeatSpring that offers courses for professionals working in renewable energy (especially solar) and building science. In my free time (which is very limited lately) I like to play beach volleyball, throw the frisbee, ski, mountain bike, and freestyle. I'm always down for a flow session. I can bring the beats.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I love the philosophy that underpins the couchsurfing movement. I hosted a couple of times when I lived in Chicago and I occasionally surf someone's couch when I'm on an adventure. (We don't currently host couch surfers because a baby up all night crying isn't the most relaxing environment.)

Centres d'intérêt

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

My music taste runs the gamut; I like everything from Rage Against the Machine to Steely Dan. My favorite movie is probably "Fight Club."

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Living with the Zapatistas in southern Mexico was an incredible and inspiring experience.
