About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seek and Explore. And Learn. Teach me something I don't know.

ABOUT ME

I am from Texas, born and raised. I've grown up playing sports and learning from the people I've met. I love music, good food, well... really any food, and physical activity. I've been a lifeguard, a personal trainer, a camp counselor, a physics researcher, a kayak guide, and a fishing deckhand. I like to try new things and I'll try almost anything once. I have been told that I will be a life student, not in the sense that I'll always be in school, but I try to learn from every experience I have.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is good. Only after you have seen more than you are accustomed to, will you realize how little you really know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Belgium, France, Spain, Greece, Hungary, England

Interests

Solar Energy... It's time for Texas to see the light, get it? I would like to help the oil dependent nation of Texas join the progressive ranks of intelligent energy production. So I'm moving to Australia to learn from the pros.

I want to experience as many things as I can with the time I have available. See the sights, drink the beer, get my mind right for whatever happens next.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This huge Halibut comes up next to the boat, and I'm standing ready with the gaff (a big gnarly fish hook), and the captain says, "You ready?", "Hell yea, I'm ready," then she proceeds to nearly shoot me. Got the fish though.
