About Me

I try to live with a balance of saying yes to spur of the moment adventures and staying present while also having the presence of mind to set a plan and plan ahead to get what I want for the big things in life and the epic adventures that take time to cultivate! Looking for more great stories in my stays with YOU!

More resume style explanation:
Undergrad: Oklahoma State where I was a Wrestler
Graduate: Berkeley Engineering Masters
Job: Currently a product manager which allows me to travel somewhat often and I try to extend the business part of the week into weekends to explore

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went on a graduation trip to Hawaii with a friend and she exposed me to the couch surfing community and I had a blast! The local knowledge and experience made it so much more fulfilling. I want to experience cities and places through the lens of people who love their location. I'd also like to host or meet up with people if they travel to Texas
