CURRENT MISSION

you can sleep when you die!

ABOUT ME

I'm a father, husband, and uncle. When I first started my couchsurfing account I was just out of college. My interests have pretty much stayed the same but now I'm a family man so we rarely go out but we would still love to travel!

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is that if you have faith, work hard and treat people right - everything will always work out in the end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people, connected people to the city and I suggest cool things to check out. I volunteer in my community and look for opportunities to do good things and help others, however that might mean.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost every time, people are stopping through Kansas City on their way to somewhere else and are completely surprised by how great of a place KC is!
