I am an avid traveler. I love the outdoors and learning about and experiencing new cultures. I love to hike, explore, go to the gym, eat, and cook.

I can talk to you for hours about nutrition and health, business, marketing, travel, philosophy, politics, or religion.

Our views may not be the same on all topics... and that's amazing. I'll respect your views and try to understand you and learn from you.

I am a single father. Being a dad is the #1 most important thing in my life :)
If I host you, my son may or may not be home. If I am requesting to stay with you I am likely traveling alone but will let you know if that isn't the case in my request.

I am vaccinated and boosted :)

I can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and experience new things!
To really experience places and people when I travel.
To travel more economically.
To offer lodging to others that are trying to do the same.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most music!

I play the French Horn and Trumpet and used to do choir as well, but I'm not the greatest singer haha.
My favorite band at the moment is probably Glass Animals (I found them before they were cool).

I enjoy reading, listening to books, and podcasts. I'll have to come back to this section to add specifics, but I mostly read and listen to content on business and marketing, psychology, and health. I hope to get into reading more nonfiction at some point but it hasn't been a priority for me up to now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I served as a missionary in Colombia for 2 years. It was one of the hardest, yet most fulfilling and happiest times of my life.
