About me
I'm a map enthusiast, trail runner, and geological engineer.
I grew up in Michigan - can't say where without using my hand, sorry.
Did a PhD in geological engineering. I sit at my computer and write code most days, and I like it that way.
I run and bike uphill, mostly on the trails around Golden. My coffee order goes like this: "I'll have a chai latte, also would you mind if I installed a bike rack out front?" I play piano, badly enough to keep practicing, but good enough the Steinway salesperson thought I should have gone to conservatory.
I bought a 1950s house earlier this year. Generally involves trying to fix something for three weeks, then paying someone else to fix it in 15 minutes. I'm learning French, with which I can pretend that I am Canadian and then switch to English. I have a cat. I'd rather take the train.
Stuff I do
- Trail running - Running uphill several times a week. Will gladly hike too if the company's good.
- Bike commuting and bike infra - I will bike to work when the probability of bodily harm is < 50%. I also advocate for improved bike safety in Golden.
- Have the coolest job ever - Survey rock slopes with laser scanners and drones and get paid.
- Happy place - Secluded mountain stream > crowded beach.
- Piano & music - Will play anything written between 1750 and 2026. PIANO ROOM UNDER CONSTRUCTION
- Dancing - High BPM electronic dance music at volume (with ear protection of course). Psytrance, house, DnB, techno, acid...

The FAQ
- What is a good Saturday?
- Run up lookout, followed by dip in the creek. Hang out with friends all afternoon.
- What should I ask you about?
- Why Iceland is the most beautiful place on the planet and why you need to go there.
- What are you bad at?
- French in real time. In a café in Geneva I confidently ordered something I did not want and ate all of it.
- Also small talk, in any language.

Who I am looking for
Someone seriously curious, who will follow a thread three levels too deep. Someone comfortable with debate, to take a side and hold it. Being able to disagree yet feel secure is something I really value. I'm used to doing most of this stuff alone and I'm good at it. But it'd be better if you wanted to come dance and travel with me. I'm basically a regular at the Church nightclub this year.
Here because it's home, not just on a two-year detour to find yourself.

Tell me what you're way too into right now. The longer the better.
You can also sign my guestbook, except I never built one, so this is the guestbook.
