Occasionally sport a mustache, or beard. I like athletics. I like music. If an opportunity arises for some trivia/board game, I'm a good partner to have. I drink beer, coffee and water.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some anthropology; specifically the demise of the Buffalo Bills franchise circa 1993 and the psychological effect on its community. (lowered motivation, reduce desire to live)
