I am a old Sonoran Desert kid, but lately living in the San Francisco Bay area. I work for a silicon processing company and have been traveling around Asia for the job. I love to meet people and try new things, cliche but true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing to meet wonderful people from all over the world and share in a true local experience of the places I visit. I've hosted couch surfers from all over at my tiny house in SF, and it is always so fun and rewarding.

Interests

I love to play music. I play primarily string instruments, but percussion is always a favorite. My wife and I cycle everywhere (we don't own a car). I have an awesome garden, but it's most definitely a community effort with my room mates.
