Adventurer by dawn. Marketing by day. Geek by night.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have officially left the agency life to pursue life on the road as a Digital Nomad. Now I want to travel the world meet incredible people and in turn offer them a place on my couch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Summited Mt. Rainier then started a career in a field with no formal education. You can really learn a lot from podcasts nowadays

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
As an Eagle-scout, I have experience in a lot of outdoor activities from kayaking the Florida keys to apline climbing. I've backpacked the southern Rockies and sections of the Appalachian Trail.

Learn:
Outdoor advice on the area! Local hotspots for food and hiking!

Share: Outdoorsy / travel tips and tricks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook fairly well, explain how to appreciate different kinds of bourbon, talk about art.

Climbing:
I provide a solid belay for anything one pitch. My multi-pitch is a little rusty ( I live in Wisconsin)

General Outdoors:
I'm a gear fanatic, and I could talk tips and tricks all day. Lets go for a hike!
