I work and live with my wife and two boys in Geneseo, NY and have been here since 1995. Before kids my wife and I loved to travel and we were able to see a lot of cool places around the world visiting friends in other countries and making new ones. Now we travel closer to home and enjoy it just as much. I enjoy camping, running, biking and hiking with friends and family. Most of our longer journeys lately have been destination trips where my wife or I do a running race or a triathlon in a different city or in Canada. I love my job as it allows me to meet different people from all walks of life and I think couch surfing would open up more avenues to meet others. It's also a little outside my comfort level and I feel it would be good to stretch the boundary a little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and stretch my comfort level.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Became a father is number 1. It's how I define myself. Completed some Ironmans and hiked the Northville Placid trail with my dog Gunther solo and unresupplied.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm constantly learning to be grateful and not to be quick to judge.
