CURRENT MISSION

To laugh, to debate, to learn competence & to travel widely

ABOUT ME

I work in public health, and I travel all over the world for my job. I’m very outgoing, funny, clean, and conscientious. I can talk with anyone, and I'm excellent at reading situations and people.

Average height, weight, and build. Gay, fwiw. But my eyes change colors.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to serve others. I'm United Methodist and my faith has brought meaning to my life and inspires my passion for social justice, inclusion, and capacity-building in developing contexts. I love people, believe in their potential, and am all about relationships!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to meet up with folks and see what’s off the beaten path. I’m all for good conversation, good drinks, and a fun time.

Interests

I referee professional soccer. I also work in global health and travel very broadly for that. I love learning languages and reading about politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

David Foster Wallace, David Sedaris, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez can do no wrong. Love me some Postmodern Jukebox & Fleetwood Mac. And boy do I wish I had a Diego Rivera mural made of my life to-date!
