Hello! I am an avid learner and reader. I love personal development and meeting new people. I am a mechanical engineer by trade, but left the cubicle to start my own real estate investing business with a special focus on net-zero energy housing with integrated edible landscapes. I love coffee, beer, and good food. I love to play rugby and ski. But most of all, I like to develop meaningful connections with others!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning a trip to New Zealand January - April 2020. I am going to work on a permaculture farm and experience everything I can in this incredible country! I figured the most effective way to meet people and learn new things would be by couch surfing my way across the islands in the week before and the week after my scheduled internship in Wairoa.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a wide variety of music, from classical to heavy metal and rap. My favorite movie is Good Will Hunting! I love a bunch of personal development/non-fiction books like Think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and The Four Hour Work Week. I also really enjoy dystopian novels such as The Giver, 1984, and Brave New World.
