Recently moved to Los Angeles (near Echo Park) from Maui. I am in a wonderful relationship with my partner Salina Kinney and we live with our two cats in a small house. I love my job, but I do not love the driving in LA traffic that it requires.

Board games are my passion and I have been collecting and playing board games for the last 3 or so years. Some of my favorites are Power Grid and Food Chain Magnate. I do also enjoy video games, hiking, and good food.

I'm very laid back, easy going, and considerate. Being an introvert, I do enjoy company and spending time with others but, I require alone time to recharge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am beginning to travel more and find that couchsurfing is a really great way to meet people and experience a new place. It is really nice to both surf and host.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love SciFi and fantasy. Game of Thrones (the tv and the book series) and Ian Banks are among my current favorites. However, I also enjoy comedy and thought provoking experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could bore you with details about soil engineering, but I am also pretty good at teaching board games, holding a conversation, and sharing stories over a meal.
