I'm a goofball extraordinaire! I enjoy meeting almost everyone and learning about cultures, history, and culinary delights. I'm also a huge sports fan.

When I'm not talking, I'm enjoying the sights on a trail or taking photographs. All amateur level. Who can tell if you're using cheap equipment when the photos and videos turn out amazing?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting locals for their knowledge! I'm not huge on being a heavy tourist map reader when I travel. I like knowing where the locals hang out.

Interests

Almost everything. Sports, politics, education, technology start-ups, finance, weather patterns, history, art, comedy, music, food. Again, almost everything.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I like all genres of music. If I had to choose one on the spot, I'd go with rap and hip-hop.

Movies - plenty! I have a movie podcast I run with a friend of mine.

Books - I enjoy biographies more than fiction, but I love fiction, as well. Notable biographies are: "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid" and "The Glass Castle".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know if it's amazing, but it was a lot of hard work and dedication to get my black belt in Taekwondo. I put in a ton of hours, sweat, calories, and water into that life achievement.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Taekwondo! Or, if you want my knowledge on Salesforce or how to run a small tech business, then I'm happy to talk about that, too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope some laughs. I take pride in being able to connect on a funny level with folks.
