About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet amazing people and see new places

ABOUT ME

I enjoy new things and places. Jack of all trades and actually mastered a few. I run with scissors and love a challenge. I own a custom furniture business and enjoy the challenges of self employment.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to wait till you grow old to enjoy everything it has to offer. Follow your passions and don't look back. No one on their death bed ever said "I wish I would have spent just one more hour at work." It's all about the memories we make in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking forward to meeting open minded people on CS. I am just trying to get a feel for the community right now but am open to meeting everyone on the site. Feel free to contact me, if I can help I will.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent time years ago traveling around and meeting new people and crashing at their homes. We never had a name for it but looking back we were actually couch surfing before it was cool.

Music, Movies, and Books

Listen to most any music. Enjoy spending time with my 8 year old daughter going to concerts of her favorites. In the last year Raegan and I have seen Casting Crowns, Tenth Avenue North, Mercy Me, Daughtry, and Big Time Rush to name a few. I listen to many audio books while working in my shop. The last lecture by Randy Pauche is one of my recent favorites. A must read for everyone.
