I'm Brett! I'm a big adventurer, laugher, and love getting to know new people. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in geography and am very interested in issues related to development, resource governance and social change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted and been to several CS meetups in Washington DC. Am continually impressed by the warm and welcoming nature of the CS community.

Interests

Travel, live music, new food, and good company. More than anything, I like spending my time getting to know new faces, learning people's stories, discussing things both light-hearted and heavy, and jumping on opportunities for unexpected adventure.
