I play a lot of music (go to practiceroomrecords.com to hear my solo project "Sonoak") with a lot of my friends. When I'm not making music I like to go on long bike rides (like 6000 miles, see at bikemantras.com), see how many flips I can do in a row on trampolines, study the earth, and jump into bodies of water from cliffs. When I'm not doing that stuff I'm doing less interesting stuff like cooking and reading and loafing hard.

Currentlyin grad school at the Museum of Natural History in NYC to become an Earth Science teacher. It's a pretty sweet program.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because hanging with actual people from places im visiting for free is better than paying to sit in a hotel room...
