Overview
About Me
I'm a transitioning Army Officer and private contractor that's finishing my graduate degree. I am married, have two beautiful step-children and one beautiful daughter. I live in Savannah, GA but I'm moving back to Asheville soon.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My Graduate program requires that I complete four international residencies, and I'm trying to mitigate the travel costs as much as possible. Tuition is bad enough. I also love meeting people that live in the area, because when you only have a short amount of time, it helps to have someone there to ease immersion with the local populace!

Music, Movies, and Books
Since I grew up in Appalachia, I love folksy music! Old Crow, Medicine Show, Trampled by Turtles, The Avett Brothers, Devil Makes Three, Shovels and Rope, ETC. I love all kinds of music. Other favorite bands include Portugal. the man, Union Underground, Band of Horses, Two Door Cinema Club, EDM music, and all sorts of rap.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've brokered a deal with the elders in the village of Surkhagen near the Afghan/Pakistan border to allow my unit to build a school, a well, and a voting facility.
