I am 34 years old and enjoy traveling, outdoor activities, exploring cities, seeing new places and meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to participate in local community and culture, meet new and interesting people, indulge in travel in a unique way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all different types of music from classical to hip hop, but here are a few of my favorites...Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Ice Cube, Atmosphere, Metallica, and Pink Floyd.

Movies...I just watched the Martian, Barbershop, and Straight Outta Copmton. The favorites are Tombstone, Dances With Wolves, Snatch, Shawshank Redemtion, Jurassic Park, Jeremiah Johnson, The Last of the Mohicans, and many more.

Books... the current choice is The Journeyer (Gary Jennings) about Marco Polo and his travels. My favorite book is The Grapes of Wrath.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just got back from a trip in Quebec that included fishing, boating, swimming and lounging in a cabin.

Teach, Learn, Share

I live in a rural Amish/Mennonite community in Ohio and teach at a public school. My class schedules include Ancient and Modern World History and American History.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My hobbies include hunting, golfing, reading, woodworking, following current events, camping, the gym, fixing up my old truck, cooking, and music. I have done a lot of regional traveling in America, recently spending a long weekend in Tennessee at a lake house boating and such, a trip to Dallas TX and Oklahoma dirt-biking a national forest, and most recently my family and I will spend time in Traverse City, Michigan for a week on the shores of the Great Lakes.
