I am a graduate student at Brigham Young University studying Instructional Psychology and Technology. In addition to school I do freelance photography and video production.

I'm addicted to podcasts (most of the time I am not listening to audio books), love hiking too. My family is at the heart of all I do and I am excited about our second child coming this summer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a graduate student I attend conferences across the US and as a filmmaker I make videos away from home at times. Not only do I want to find a cheap place to stay, but I would really like to expand my mind and knowledge of other people and cultures. Couchsurfing seemed like the perfect combo.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love anything from Imagine Dragons (a Provo band BTW) to Nickelcreek to Rachmaninoff. There is too much to name here, not because I am a big music buff but because I have a tough time narrowing my interests down.

Movies: basically any movie made with originality, heart, and an intention to promote positive vibes in the world.

Books: I can't say. Connect with me on GoodReads and you might get a good idea. (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/11065851-greg)

Teach, Learn, Share

Instructional design, photoshop, filmmaking, religion, education in general. Oh, and whole food, plant-based eating (and cooking in general)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love learning about what other people believe and why they believe it, and if others want I can share my beliefs as well. I am open to sharing any of my media know-how, recipes, and any other random life lessons.
