CURRENT MISSION
I'm helping a friend build his dream of running a world-class rock climbing gym, and in the process, build a career for myself in the rock climbing world. I love sharing the challenge and excitement of climbing on real rock.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel to rock climb and backpack. I weightlift, practice yoga, and commute by bicycle to cross train for climbing. I also enjoy craft beer, dark chocolate, and whiskey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm considering opening my home on an occasional basis to help support travelers who just need a place to crash along their journey.

Interests

In my free time (is it called free time because you're not getting paid?) I read, sleep, go on wandering walks, or hang out with my parents. Our family is super close.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read but don't spend nearly enough time doing it. I'm particularly fond of realistic fiction that addresses current social (and other) issues (Barbara Kingsolver) as well as science fiction (Dune, Stranger in a Strange World) and fantasy (LOTR, GOT).

As for music, I like any song I can sing along to that has a story. My favorite local band is Truckstop Honeymoon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've summited Longs Peak via the Casual Route on the Diamond.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quiet, tidy, and am easily accommodated. I love swapping stories.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bolivia, Canada, China, Mexico
