CURRENT MISSION

To live deep and suck out all the vegan marrow of life.

ABOUT ME

I hail from rural Maryland where I spent my formative years frolicking amongst horse farms and rolling hills. After allegedly growing up, I attended college at Univ. of Colorado at Boulder, where I majored in Psychology, Environmental Public Policy and Decision-Making, and drinking. My post-college years have been filled with travels to New Zealand, where I worked on organic farms to learn how to live a more sustainable life, and then on to various parts of South America, where I worked at an animal refuge and was walked every day by a bear named Balu.

I get paid to work at Avery Brewing Company doing marketing, event coordination, and graphics, but get paid mostly in beer and good times.

I share a home with my friend, Jamie Seiffer, as well as two cats who answer to the names Batman and Luna.

PHILOSOPHY

The meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My surfing experiences over the years have shown me what true hospitality is, and the trust, comfort, and friendship I have received from hosts around the world have encouraged me to be a better person.

Interests

I love growing food & cooking food, and in the process, learning all I can about the environmental, social, and nutritional benefits of veganism.
