I love computers and technology but it doesn't keep me from appreciating the natural beauty of things. I love to talk about almost anything.

I'm always interested in learning, I don't think you can ever know enough. Its like a thirst.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet awesome people, and to get to see awesome places.

Interests

I have my ham radio license, and plan on trying to QSO (contact) the space station in the near future! (They have ham radio equipment up there :P)

I also really like video game development, I completed a game with some friends for a Game Jam in Sept. 2013. We only had 48 hours, but it got done. Check it out at this link -> http://www.escapistmagazine.com/content/indie-speed-run/?game=372

Working on second game (for mobile), but you can play it on your PC at http://dropecho.com/wormhole-in-one.swf

I also love hiking and camping.

I also play guitar and attempt to play piano, played bass and trumpet in jazz bands, but not so much anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably, I would say that the most amazing thing ever to me was seeing the Hubble Deep Field Image, and realizing how tiny we are, just a mote of dust in a sun beam.

A close second would be the northern lights on the south coast, with some people I met there and rented a car with.

Other than that, I've traveled most of the USA, gone to England, Scotland and Iceland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to write code, play a song on guitar, make a bechamel sauce, brew beer, rebuild an engine, take decent photographs, and probably some other things I can't recall at the moment.

I might be a collector of hobbies.
