CURRENT MISSION

Host anyone who needs a place to crash in Lansing, MI.

ABOUT ME

Sabrina and I are really easy going, and enjoy good drinks and conversation. I graduated from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 2020 and currently study honey bee diseases. My former career was a digital artist, and commercial photographer. I worked with a lot of great people and enjoyed the work, but have grown to despise the advertising industry. My undergrad was in Sociology and Biochemistry so I love talking science and social movements. Chomsky and Zinn are some of my political influences.

PHILOSOPHY

I would have to label myself a marxist as far as labels are concerned.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just recently purchased a house with my wife Sabrina. We have been wanting to host for years, but have never had the space to accomodate. Now we have plenty, so we hope to give back after being pleasantly hosted multiple times by other couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Sabrina and I were hosted by a lot of really interesting and great people as we traveled across the country a few years back. Everyone was really accomodating, and we look forward to giving back to the community.
