ABOUT ME

Went to engineering school for a while

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a person to have specific goals. I have large, general targets that I orient myself towards. I satisfy my material needs and tend not to fret about consequences unforeseeable within the next 6 months. Has that worked out well for me? I'll get back to you on that

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I let people crash when I can, but that's not an option right now.

I'd also enjoy the generosity of other surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed while on a trip to DC and back.

Hosted a few travelers coming down route 66.

Music, Movies, and Books

Metal! It is my favorite, but I enjoy most types of music, including classical. I do not watch many movies or read many books anymore. I prefer to read articles on the internet and in magazines. The books I have read include: Game of Thrones, Hitchhiker's Guide series, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, Crichton books, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skepticon, a small skeptic convention in Springfield, MO, was pretty cool. Hiking in Philmont as a scout was also pretty cool.

The 2012 Reason Rally in Washington DC was very awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've taught myself a lot about music, and I know some deeper science education than just a high school course. I'd be interested in learning almost anything outside of the visual arts. I'm not a very visual person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you've got a music instrument that you've never used I can show off on it for a little while and then set it up for you to use should you so wish
