PHILOSOPHY

I'm all about hope. It is what drives me more than anything else. I believe that our Hope in Jesus is stronger than any other hope we can experience on this Earth. Emily is an artist and she sees the world in a way that I will probably never fully understand, and that is just wonderful. We have a beautiful little daughter, so we don't host quite as often as we used to - but don't hesitate to ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have hosted a number of times. We have two kiddos so it would have to be the fight for with out stage in life. We travel quite a bit so please feel free to ask. We have three extra beds in the house - one queen and two twins. The twins are in one room while the queen is in another. We've recently 'adopted' some permanent surfers in one of our guest rooms, so we only have two guest rooms right now. Nonetheless, we're all friendly and we'd love to hang out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've been surfing for a few years now (nine to be exact!) and have had numerous surfers from the USA and abroad. We have also surfed all over the world (metaphorically, neither of us can actually surf. Matt tried.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've jumped from a 60 foot cliff in Hawaii, ran thousands of miles all over the country, but one of the things I enjoy most is watching stars from atop a Kansas City skyscraper.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am the world's foremost expert on cream soda. Not joking.

Emily can do a mean Monet.
