CURRENT MISSION

To live every moment as though it's the zoom-in, cue the music, epiphany scene of a movie.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurer! My mother wanted to name me Isaac, but my grandmother didn't like it. I like the simple things in life: good food, good wine, friends and intellectual conversation. The only crowds I like are at music festivals. I enjoy cooking for people. I brew my own beer. I love the mountains, rivers, trees, music and all things hippie. I hate wet socks and cold ketchup. I'm the only one in my family with red hair. I like thinking in pictures, colors or apple pies, instead of words.

PHILOSOPHY

Just say NO to societal norms! Your life is yours to create. Think outside of the box? - There is no box! We put constraints on ourselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined earlier this summer, but I'm telling friends about CS! It's exciting that there are so many people out there to meet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never heard of a bad experience from couch surfer friend! I have had all positive experiences whether it was just coffee or if I surfed (Sarah, you're the best!). It's looking like I may have my first hosting experience this summer as I have had many requests for the latter part of the season.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love bluegrass, jam band, afrobeat, funk and jazz. I play guitar (not all that well) and just started playing the mandolin. Movie: Waking Life. Book: Still Life with Woodpecker

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Colorado on a whim about four years ago and have no regrets about that decision. I'm certain that sole decision has determined the course of the rest of my life.

This trip back to Colorado, may be the most amazing experience I've had in some time.

Electric Forest music festival in Rothbury, Michigan. 2011. WOW! That's all I have to say about that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything! The hard sciences, the soft sciences and especially the squishy sciences! Math is god like. I'm knowledgeable about the outdoors in general and I like to think I'm an expert in fun.
