About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Laugh. It's what's for dinner. This mission will self destruct in 20 seconds.

ABOUT ME

I've recently gone through a lot of personal growth changes that have made more focused on what life is really about. People is one of them. I travel a lot for work, so I've really starting to take advantage of that opportunity to meet all kinds of amazing people.

I play guitar, volleyball, and will probably make you spit your drink out with laughter. Don't worry, I'll clean it up.

I'm feeling adventurous in life, and hope to meet people of all kinds.

I just left Boulder, CO (July 2011) and will most likely move back in a few months after a few more destinations. I did my first 14er and just started Ukulele lessons. So much fun!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm constantly evolving and you can't evolve effectively alone. Just live life, love music, and have fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As of late, I have been/will be attending whatever couchsurfing local meetings are around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a few times throughout the country, hosted a few times when I lived in NC, and love meeting CSers everywhere. Every couchsurfing person I've met so far has been wonderfully nice and interesting. I hope I can add to that.

Interests

I love learning about everything. Whatever you have to say, as long as you're passionate about it, is what I want to learn about.

Music, Movies, and Books

Current Music:
Jonathan Coulton
Lady Gaga (guilty pleasure)
Loud Dance music

Books:
The Great Gatsby
Designing the Obvious
Bossypants (Tina Fey)

Movies:
Hmmm... anything that I can see in the theaters I usually love. I'm easy to plese.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to hang out with Kelly Clarkson's band for a night and then meet her before a show in 2006 in Charlotte, NC. Also, I sat next to her Aunt during the show. She was super nice.

Also, drank whiskey on a Glacier in Argentina. Life changing to say the least.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to run a 5-1 offense in volleyball. Or, a 12 bar blues on guitar. But hey, just ask, I might know something about what you're looking for.

I can school you on the use of the emergency eye wash station in a chemistry lab. Yes, I was the only person to have to use it that I knew of going through the Chemistry department at NC State University. However, I did gain superhuman seeing out of my left eye.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Colombia, Costa Rica, France

Countries I’ve Lived In
