I'm a thoughtful, curious dude who enjoys life and works hard to make the most of it. I graduated with a genetics degree and have been writing science education games for high schoolers for the past two years. In January, I'm headed to New York to start a beer brewery with my brother and run the brewery lab. But until then, I'm traveling in Europe looking for great memories, unlearned lessons, and tasty beer. I love art, science, sports, nature, beautiful spaces, and yoga. I am easygoing, straightforward, clean, and a good cook/mixologist. Please give me a place to rest my head - I will be so grateful!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling in Europe from September - December and would love to meet wonderful people, learn about other cultures, and form friendships all across the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote a dozen interactive, animated science education games in which students learn biology concepts and use them to solve simulated real-world problems. They are now used in over 150 classrooms, and the number is growing.
