About Me

Part dirtbag, part old man feeding pigeons on a park bench.
Educated enough to have an intelligent conversation; brutish enough to be happy living in a tent in the desert for a month straight. Tend to listen more than I talk and can find something in common with just about everyone.

I like to spend most of my free time outdoors - usually climbing. If you're looking for a belay buddy, we'll get along perfectly. I also do a bit of photography, read constantly, and can cook you just about anything you can imagine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent the last few years travelling throughout the US and benefited from the hospitality of strangers so much that I can't help but want to return the favor. Whether you're passing through or here to check out the area for a few days, come make yourself at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

last summer while working in Yellowstone I got my car stuck on the side of the road and Neil deGrasse Tyson helped me push it out

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always excited to teach new people how to climb, cook, or give tips on plant and animal identification.
Accumulating random skills and abilities is a major passion of mine, so I'm down to learn anything you may have to teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Put a roof over my head and I'll put dinner on the table - comfortable cooking veg/vegan too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Canada, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Poland
