I'm easy going, fun loving, and adaptive. I love making a positive impact on the people I meet. I try to learn something new where ever I go. I'm good with kids, and do well at parties. I drink socially, but don't smoke. I love music of all types. I can play the piano a little, and have just begun exploring the bass. I like philosophical conversation, games and campfires.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I moved from Chicago, IL to Oregon for a couple of years to help an old friend build a house for his family. Since then, I've been travelling around the U.S., visiting old friends and college buddies. I really appreciate the range of perspectives and mannerisms as I explore. Couchsurfing is new to me, and it sounds like an adventure!

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

After a night of hanging out with a rock band called Ballroom Dancing, I was called up to the stage during a battle-of-the bands to sing the bass line for them in a spur of the moment acapella rendition of the Super Mario Bros 2 Theme. It's just a small thing, but it's something I will never forget!

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

It's impossible to not make some sort of impression on the people you meet, so I make it my business to leave good footprints behind. It's fun to recognize the genius of each person's unique character,and learn from it.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

Not much in the way of physical goods, I would be happy to share a positive, energetic attitude.
