About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the gift of life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I love to have fun. Period. I enjoy the experience, especially the simple things. I have lived in Chester most my life and have never really had the chance to 'get out'. Ready to make a leap of faith.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy what you got while you got it. Everyday is a gift.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, music, and more music. All kinds...as long as it is 'good' and has some thought behind it. I listen from everything from bluegrass to gangsta rap and anything, I mean anything, in between. No matter the era. Just finished ‘The Subtle art of Not Giving a F*ck.’

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just finished hiking 560+ miles from WV to TN on my home state, Virginia, section of the Appalachian trail. 2 months, lots of mountains, cool towns, friendly people, hammocking under the stars, with my pup Mattox.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm good at snowboarding and wakesurfing, got a business degree, build custom fishing rods, operated a company, homebrew tasty beer, play guitar/bass, maintain a reef aquarium, and have a decent grasp on life. I'm continuously trying to improve myself as a human being. I would like to learn more about different cultures and see more of this big round thing we live on. I would like to learn more about backpacking and hiking. Really anything about the great outdoors.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, costs, laughs, good vibes, sixer of craft beers, coffee, help with projects. All requests considered.
