CURRENT MISSION

In about 9 months, my lease will be up on my apartment. My girlfriend and I, and our two daughters have a plan to buy a motorhome or pull-behind camper and travel the country for at least 6 months, maybe a year. Document everything along the way with photography, writing, plenty of coffee, and i'm sure some wine too. Once we decide to settle somewhere, I plan to print my first full length photo book about the experience.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Topeka Kansas. I love to travel, I love to socialize. What better place to do both? I am a skateboarder and a photographer. I also enjoy a great variety of music.

PHILOSOPHY

I am currently reading a book called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. My best friend gave it to me and at first it was a bit over my head I thought, but i'm about half way in and i'm really enjoying it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, of course. To be able to help people along their journey. To make some memories over some fresh espresso or a cup of coffee.

Everyone in life knows something that you do not know. I know something that you don't, and vise versa. We can learn from everyone.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Nightmare Before Christmas, 500 Days of Summer, Stuck in Love. I listen to almost everything when it comes to music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked for FEMA in 2005 and 2006 to help rebuild homes for hurricane victims in Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want people to be able to always have a positive outlook on life, no matter what trials they may face. I want people to listen with their hearts, and not just their ears.

I would like to learn about other cultures. Any of them and all of them! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Couch and/or air mattress. Fresh coffee or espresso. Words of encouragement. :)
