CURRENT MISSION

I’m an author who creates stories inspired by passengers I meet during rideshare. I work in Louisville, but am coming to Columbus to drive during the Arnold Expo. Driving during events and expos is wayyy more profitable and fun than driving people to their 9-5 jobs on regular days.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to find out what's waiting just around the river bend. Yes, my personal philosophy is a quote from "Pocahontas."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know which cafe in Louisville has the world's best hot chocolate. It is incredible, it is delicious, and it will kick the crap out of any childhood memory you have concerning other hot chocolates.

Interests

Byron Katie’s “The work,” Eckhart Tolle, Stand up comedy, Abraham-Hicks "Ask and it is Given" working out, driving.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a swim coach for a country club. It was brand new and I was brand new so I taught by swimming in front of them and having them follow me around the pool, in a giant horizontal line, like baby ducks.

We had one swim meet scheduled for the year, at our pool. We watched as their team got off the bus: matching swim caps, matching suits, matching goggles, the whole bit.

Our team looked at each other : kids wearing surf shorts, girls in flower print bikinis, and one, maybe two, swim caps. It felt like a movie, "Mighty Ducks 4: Kids in the Water."

There was one student who was hopeless. He flailed around in the water, he struggled to breathe, he was a mess. He came in for extra help before practice and afterwards, a real soldier, but nothing I told him seemed to stick. Finally, I told him "It's summer, dude, don't worry about it. Just have fun." Fast forward to the swim meet, first race: Kid dives in and swims like a DOLPHIN. It was incredible. It was a Disney movie. I'd like to say he crushed the competition, but there was no competition. It was just him and who he used to be compared to what he was now. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

We won every event by a mile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to be responsibly happy. Meaning, I know techniques, ways to get you from feeling bad about something to feeling good (genuinely, honestly good) about that same something. I can also:

build a successful joke.

make any raw food dish taste good.

make a bank shot go in every time.
