I am 27, and currently working as an electrical engineer for an automation company in the quad cities. I work 5 days a week, but any night that I'm free I'm open to hosting. I like buying broken things and repairing or repurposing them into a new life, as well as getting outside to grow vegetables, or biking and hiking, among lots of other things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel opens ones mind to things that wouldn't have even been fathomable without it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like music that I can relate to, some form now, and some from 60 years ago. I don't much like music that is unintelligible, but beyond that I'm open to most types.

I read a lot of historical books, as well as books on food, the outdoors, and sometimes philosophy.

I don't watch a lot of movies, but most that I do are classics.
