Why I'm on Couchsurfing
The opportunity to meet like minded folks in a new area prior to arriving is hard to pass on. And while I enjoy stimulating local economies, having a place to rest my head in a safe environment free of charge is even harder to pass on.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have been a part in creating a local food system in my hometown. In a place where organic food is scare and inaccessible; we creating an oasis of health in a food desert. It is a toiling task and full of hardship, but it draws in people who are passionate with taking charge of their lives and breaking the trend of unhealthy diet that has taken over the United States. We are creating a community that is going back to the roots of food of Americana, where the consumer has a relationship to the producers of the food they eat.
Teach, Learn, Share
Lets swap recipes and share ideas about prepping and cooking food. If you have questions about growing annual vegetables I can help start your garden. Teach me the local food culture of your area!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Conversation, recipes (let me cook for you), cleaning, home repair, carpentry projects
My Interests
Catch me riding my 1994 Yamaha XT 600 enduro motorcycle between the number of outdoor activities, gatherings, and projects I'm involved in. The local food scene is what I'm a part of, whether it be the production or the consumption.
