I live in Chicago and I like bikes, cats, and jiu jitsu. I teach environmental science at a two-year college at Loyola University of Chicago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I lived in Copenhagen, I lived in a dorm with a girl who hosted several couchsurfers while we were there.
I couchsurfed in Boston and Chicago on a long trip a few summers ago and have hosted a couple of surfers of my own since then!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about environmental chemistry. I can also teach you a math cheer, so you can remember how to compute the sine or cosine of 2 angles added together.
I can also teach you how to brew beer or make soap.
