CURRENT MISSION

Just being a better, more caring, more loving person.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Tucson,Arizona but moved to New Zealand when I was very little, then moved back to Arizona a few years later.

I have been able to travel a good amount, visiting Australia, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Guatemala, Belize, France, Italy, England, Mexico, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and, of course, the US and New Zealand.

I am a huge fan of rock and outlaw and alt country. I was what one might call a professional political hack in my past, pre-grad school, life.

PHILOSOPHY

Love God and love your neighbor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a spare guest room plus a comfortable couch, and I'm always happy to give advice about places to go in the Mountain West.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at the houses of friend numerous times and have had friends stay here many times. I have hosted a friend from New Zealand for two weeks and, once, me and my mom hosted a couple of Democratic Party activists from out of town.

When I was in Europe I spent the night at several friends houses, including one person I met the day before.

We have had several people from Warmshowers stay with us.
