My dad is a pastor, so we have moved around a bit. Born in Michigan, 6 years in CT, 10 years in WI half way between Milwaukee and Madison, and my folks have been in Brooklyn Park, MN since 1999. My dad Curt is currently the pastor at Brooklyn Lutheran.

My family consists of my beautiful wife Diana, our two boys Eli -6 and Gideon - 4, and a baby coming January 2015! Diana and I met at college. I was training to be a pastor and Diana a teacher. I am enjoying helping people with Mortgage Protection and investment strategies, and we are looking to have Diana be a stay-at-home mommy soon :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be going to Dynamic Health in Coeur D'Alene, ID for a week for Lyme Disease treatment. I hear he has great results! I enjoy meeting new people and doing fun stuff. It's a lot easier to find fun things when you know a local!

Interests

I enjoy volleyball, baseball, running, and basically any ball or action sport.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Bible
Self-Improvement books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off a 40 foot cliff :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

People tend to open up to me fairly quickly. Conversations tend to get deep, but they don't have to :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Still learning what this is all about. A smiling face, dishes, athletic companion... Not sure how I will be feeling with the Lyme treatment. I'm sure I will need lots of sleep.
