I am a faculty member at Ball State University teaching in the Architecture Department. I love outdoor activities, running, rock climbing, hiking, drawing, and a bit of Netflix. I enjoy craft dark beer and seek out chances for good conversations with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a bit nomadic this summer and finding a couch to crash on while going from adventure to adventure would be a treat! And makes the traveling a little easier.

Interests

• running
• hiking mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like a broad range of music, but some specifics are Skrillex, Feed Me, Zeds Dead, and Chvrches.
Books: yes to history novels and books you can learn from. And recently became a fan of Sarah Waters. No fantasy genre....not my thing.
Movies: Not horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
