PHILOSOPHY

"I don't know"... so I ask questions... I'm really good at asking questions. But bottom line, after responsibilities are taken care of, enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

meet people; exchange thoughts, ideas, and intel on the world; and of course it'd be awesome to coordinate some snowboarding or outdoor adventures :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done a fair amount of travel. Crashing at a friend's place is always fun. Officially, I've only couchsurfed once in Germany with one of the friends in a group I snowboarded with. But it's a way better experience to make new friends than stay at a hotel.

Interests

many. almost everything technical (computers, electronics, engineering, science, medical, etc), programming, robotics, video games... mostly on the xbox (xbox tag: tachyonglider), hanging with friends, trail running, bikram yoga, hiking, roller coasters, SUSHI and other delicious foods like thai and indian.

Music, Movies, and Books

music: www.di.fm - epic trance, vocal trance, eurodance. But I mostly listen to good christian worship music.

movies: sci-fi, action adventure, funny... i'd say my favorite is probably "serenity"

books: technical manuals!! and... I'm getting up to speed on speed reading, and then books for entertainment will hopefully hold my attention. but until then, video games keep my attention for exploring other worlds. (skyrim, mass effect, and dragon age are some favorites)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm, it's a toss up between snowboarding around Europe for 2 weeks, and a 2 week vacation to Japan with friends. It's so cool exploring different cultures and worlds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've worked for a lot of businesses, startups and entrepreneurs. I work in tech development, computers and programming. I know a few things about how to bring "ideas" to market and business development. As an engineer, wielding technology is a useful skill to share.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Haiti, Jamaica, United States
