PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is that you only live once and you can't sit around and let life pass you by. You have to get out there and grab life by the horns, take chances, live on the edge and don't doubt yourself!

Travel, explore, meet strangers and have conversations. I like to explore national parks, monuments, forests and BLM land in my free time.

By trade I’m a Professional film maker. I mostly film action sports, festivals, and live concerts. Occasionally I’ll shoot real estate and commercial work.

...When I'm not out exploring this beautiful land.

In my spare time I enjoy volunteering with local non-profit called SOS (snowboard outreach society) mentoring at-risk youth teaching them core values/character traits while snowboarding, mountain biking, sailing and doing other outdoor activities and helping out in our local community.

I also volunteer at a Hot Springs a few times a year hosting astronomy and bat tours and doing grounds work on the resort.

I’m a busy bee!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and experience local culture through their eyes! I love meeting new people and sharing experiences.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by cooking a weekly meal, cleaning and helping out with anything under a reasonable doubt in exchange for a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a fair share of couch surfing in the past few years from Colorado, Arizona, California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, SC, NC, Tennessee, Vermont to Maryland and New Jersey. I am very thankful for the people I have met along the way and I wouldn't trade the moments I've shared in life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently saw TWO shooting stars while setting up 9” telescopes on Saturn and Jupiter!!! I’m told that’s very rare and special!

Rode my dirt bike to 13,000+ feet!!

Floated a Ducky down 27 miles of the Green River in Utah with a group of friends! River camping is amazing I highly recommend it.

Saw Radiohead @ ACL for Thom Yorkes birthday!

Teach, Learn, Share

As mentioned above I spent a lot of my free time volunteering and giving back to my communities I involve myself in. I think that learning new things and retaining that knowledge and experiences you gain are some the greatest riches you can posses in life

Always respect the people that are allowing you into there home no matter what the situation is. If things get rough stick through it and work it out or pack up your things and find a new place. One Love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, good food, a polite guest, my knowledge and experience.
