About Me

I'm a resident for Orthotics and Prosthetics. I've worked at Shriner's Hospitals and VA Clinics building arms, legs, wheel chairs, and braces and teaching patients how to use them. I'm here for the Genuine Human Connection! I'm a fiend for social interaction and have a breadth of interests, so its very easy for me to find common ground and befriend people. I love hosting people, but haven't done it through the app - mostly through random happenstance or word of mouth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I honestly just like meeting people. I'm hoping to be able to host through this app as soon as my living arrangements permit.

Interests

Hiking, Snowboarding, Kayaking, Video Games, Adventuring, Board Games, Frisbee Golf... I dabble in most things.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen very equally to EDM, Classic Rock, and Guajira Jazz and am open to everything except mumble rap. I'm a Marvel comic book nerd, Star Wars fanatic, and Disney freak.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the Aurora Borealis in Glacier Bay!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have competitive knowledge of materials used for costuming and device fabrication, as well as traditional hand skills: sewing, letherwork, woodwork, metallurgy, carbon fiber, resins, foams.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a foodie, so I'd love to treat you to "that place you've been dying to try". Alternatively, I could give you a crash course in any of my aforementioned handskills or talk your ear off about my field, if you're into that.

Australia, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, New Zealand

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
