I graduated from undergrad with degrees in history and education. I spent the following 6 years as a teacher. I taught in Los Angeles, California; Shenzhen, China; La Romana, Dominican Republic; Shanghai, China; and Santa Barbara, California. After my time in law school, I took a dream job in Brussels where I represent American Football athletes from the United States (mostly CA) looking to play American Football in Europe. I also provide consulting services for professional American Football teams in Europe.

Overall, I'm very easy going, very tolerant and accepting, and I love meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always liked the idea of what this website offers. Now, I have recently moved to Brussels for work. I have a great place for hosting 1 guest at a time and I love meeting new people from all over the world. It is literally one of my favorite things in the world.

Also, I travel frequently for work, and so I am here to be able to meet new people in all the new places that I travel.

Interests

Exploring, having conversations about anything and everything, dogs, hiking, watching sports games, meeting new people, drinking good beer, sightseeing, and pretty much any other kind of social and healthy fun.

Books: The Uses of Haiti, On China, We Wish to Inform You, China Wakes, the Iliad, many many many many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done a flip off the longest wooden bridge in the world. (If you know where this is, I will be seriously impressed.)
