A flat-out great guy who lives in the middle of America's Heartland and is always on the move looking for a good time. I constantly think about trips, in fact I don't think there is a moment in life when I'm not. Movies...gotta watch em, games....gotta play em, socializing....I HAVE to socialize because quite frankly, I can't believe what life would be like without. Don't even get me started about volleyball...that's my favorite past-time activity, along with cooking, photography, hiking, the list could go on forever! I'm also kind of a foodie; whenever I travel I eat at local hole-in-the-wall restaurants instead of food chains because that is where the best food tends to be. I never turn down trying new things.

You weren't put on this world to just watch it; you were put here to experience it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surf couches and host when I can. I usually end up couchsurfing when I embark on roadtrips. I was an active member in the Des Moines couchsurfing community when I lived in the city. I've helped them set up local gatherings that have attracted 15+ couchsurfers!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love any type of movie as well as music! When it comes to books, I enjoy selecting a non-fiction. I'm currently reading "Start Something that Matters" and "No Space, No Choice, No Jobs, No Logo."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got the chance to jump off a 60 foot high cliff into the water in Negril, Jamaica.

I spent the night in a haunted army barrack at Fort Des Moines.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE TO COOK! (and I'm pretty great at it also lol) I would enjoy cooking an Iowan meal for any of my hosts.
