I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Business Management and a minor in Chinese. While at school I lived in China while attending a study abroad program at Nanjing University.
My wife and I are looking to travel the world. I'm currently a high school math teacher. I love talking to people and helping them become the best version of themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and experience some of the culture of places that I am visiting. I think that it makes traveling more meaningful.
When taking in guests we want to share all the great things Cleveland has to offer.

Interests

I enjoy learning about other people's cultures especially through eating their food. Love to talk sports and athletics. I currently coach track and field at the school where I teach. While traveling I like to see the historic places that make that place unique and special. I love a good laugh so if you are funny then I want to meet you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music and movies. I like to listen to almost every genre of music. Some of my favorite artists are John Legend, Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars, Mumford and Sons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best experiences was while in college my friends and I raised money to go on a small humanitarian aide trip to Panama. We brought supplies like reading glasses, first aide kits and clothes. We also had the opportunity to mix, pour and set concrete floors for a few families whose homes were previously shacks with dirt floors. It was a beautiful experience. I truly believe that "service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time." (Edelman) Traveling is what we get to do in our spare time. :)
