About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and Learn

ABOUT ME

I'm an intellectual who dabbles in extroversion. I love to learn. I want to know about anything and everything- people, places, things- how they work and what's interesting about them. I get along easily with most people and enjoy learning what drives them.

PHILOSOPHY

My way or the highway. Just kidding. I like finding common ground with people who at first seem to operate from wildly different philosophies. My philosophy is tough to describe, maybe you and I could have a nice chat about philosophy?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far my experiences have been exclusively at CS events/meetups in Boston for the summer of 2011. Now I'm beginning to travel more and hope to host people in 2012.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never surfed through this site, but I have stayed in strangers' homes across the US through my travels with the Notre Dame Glee Club. I've done this ~50 times and always enjoy meeting new people!

Interests

I like most sports, especially soccer and volleyball. I follow the English Premier League religiously, and my life shuts down for the World Cup. I read and jog. I hope to run a Marathon during 2014.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm currently reading Catch-22 and a Brief History of Time. I enjoy all types of music. It took awhile for Country to grow on me but a couple long drives did the trick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sang with the Notre Dame Glee Club for 4000 Guatemalans in a beautiful cathedral.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share what I know about solar cells and chemical engineering stuff. I'd like to learn economics.
