Downsized, so now I'm a couch-and-air-mattress in the living room sort of guy. I work early in the morning, so I can't promise much touring, but I'm a sucker for pointing things out on a map. I'm also active on WarmShowers.org for touring cyclists, and have a special place in my heart for people making the trek on two wheels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have space, and there's no reason not to use it. I also like to pretend I'm a tavern owner. I also like showing off St. Louis. I also feel vaguely morally/karmically/superstitiously/ethically obliged to offer shelter to travelers.

Interests

All things books-movies-tv, running, St. Louis Cardinals, drinking beer, riding around on bikes, St. Louis history, anything.

If you come on a bike between March and October, I'd love to go for a ride or a run.
