About Me

I live in a small rural town in Hope, Alaska. My wife and I own a small but super cool little bar and restaurant along with a lodge and cabin rentals. I make my living doing that during the summer season, and in the winter I love to take time off along with my family, travel, snowboard, surf, build new cool stuff for our business, or just fix crap that I broke during the summer. I love my life, my wife, and my kids!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m cheap! I HATE spending money to sleep…I’d rather save it for cooler stuff like going out for burgers and beer. Plus I like meeting people and making friends all over the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love live music, I’m spoiled with a lot of blue grass bands that play every week in the summer in my tiny town. I love movies with plots (not into most super hero movies), but I also like dumb comedies. My favorites are Princess Bride, Braveheart, Hot Rod, Nacho Libre, I like a bunch of chick flick movies too but I probly shouldn’t list them publicly. And I like true story adventure books along with classics like Hemingway.
