About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Came back to where I was raised to encourage green/holistic building practices. Started a company with a buddy of mine. My job is my new adventure, but my time in Nashville will be limited.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in TN. Left when I was 18 to go live and climb out West. The next year I went to Mexico for the first time and was forever changed. For the next eight years I led a very transient life traveling, working, and looking for anything new and different to experience. I was able to live/stay in many places throughout the US, Central America, and Asia. Two years ago I returned to TN to start a green building business. It has been my new adventure, but I am definitely looking forward to getting back on the road at some point.

PHILOSOPHY

keep it simple

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Anyone can come stay. I may even be able to offer up a vehicle to get around town seeing as Nashville's public transportation isn't so great.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my time on the road I've been honored to stay in millionaires' mansions, homeless peoples' benches, and everything in between. With every trip I am reminded how amazing and interesting people are from all over the world. I have lots of couch karma to repay, so please feel free to crash at my place.
