CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love big ideas, big plans, and big adventures. There's nothing better than having an interesting story to share with friends. I love exploring the outdoors and pushing my own limits (especially on my mountian bike). I am currently married to the greatest girl that ever lived (I know, what are the chances of that???).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Summer of 2005 I rode my bicycle across the U.S.A. from Seattle to New York City with a friend. We must have surfed at least 15 couches the whole time, even though most of them turned into queen-sized guestroom beds! We couchsurfed on our Europe trip of 2006 a total of 4 times and can't wait to do it again.
