Hi all! My name is Ryan and I am a Data Science Consultant from Colorado. I love to travel, meet new people, and explore different cities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and make friends in other cities. I've use Couchsurfing a handful of times and have always had great experiences!

Interests

I love running, working out, and playing sports (especially hockey, skiing, tennis, and golf). I also enjoy live music, nerding out on my computer (mostly coding, developing predictive models, web design, etc.), trying great food, beer (especially citrus IPAs!, farmhouse ales, amber ales, and occasionally sours), traveling, checking out museums, and trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Competed in an IronMan, ran multiple marathons, hiked a bunch of Colorado's 14ers (including soloing Mt. Bierstadt solo in the winter). I've also rode in a couple 100+ mile century rides. Finished my master's degree in Predictive Analytics while working full-time at a big 4 consulting firm.
