About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to business.

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate young man - kind and respectful. I enjoy having a good time and like to do what I can to enrich the experience of those around me. I am a strong believer in seeing is believing. But I also believe that thinking is doing. Your thoughts directly dictate the path of your actions (why I always try and stay positive in the head).

See the references if you want a better idea.

PHILOSOPHY

Negative begets negative. Positive begets positive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing my years of learning and experiences with others. While growing and absorbing from all the wonderful people I meet along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had absolutely wonderful experiences with the people that have hosted me. Opening up your house to someone is opening your heart. For that, I am forever grateful.

Surfed in Paris, Portland, Seattle, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Boston, Austin, New Orleans, San Antonio.

I have met countless wonderful CS'ers on my travels. Through weekly meet-ups (we need meet-ups in every city, keep the community strong!), random encounters, friends of friends, it doesn't matter. It never ceases to amaze me the quality of people that are on this Earth.

I have had several surfers stay with me in Ann Arbor. It is always a pleasure to have guests!
