ABOUT ME

I am a web designer that hates that my job defines me.

So this, my friends, is me...

I am a lover. A fighter when I have to be (I almost drowned recently, but am alive to talk about it). A pushover when I shouldn't be. A romantic even though it kills me. I am an ardent enthusiast of words, conversation, of space and of the mind of God that created our existence. I am an admirer of artists, filmmakers, writers, and designers. I am a musician with songs to be written, chords to be played and melodies to be heard. I am compassionate about the world and the global injustices therein, believing I, along with the other "i"'s in the world, can, will, and do change the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the way of revolt (read more: http://www.revolttowards.com/about-revolt.html). This revolt is one that comes about in pursuit of Father, Son, Spirit, neighbor, community, compassion, and creativity; that the kingdom of God is nearer than many of us make it out to be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want my home to be a place for pilgrims and sojourners to come and feel welcomed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I took a train trip for 30 days across North America and this was truly amazing and I had a place to stay in each city! So much fun!

Interests

I play the guitar and piano.
I love sushi (and food in general).
I love jazz, but all kinds of music.
I love to experience new cultures.
I love to ride my bike.
I love to find God in the hard to find places, the places where not many might go or be to fearful to go seek Him out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to Russia 3 times to work with orphans. I traveled by myself across the US and Canada for 30 days by train. I am 26 and have owned 3 businesses and on my way to only 3 new ones as well, one people a retail space and another a coffee shop, all while doing graphic design.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do leather crafting. I like camping. I like fixed gear bikes. I live in the ways of Jesus and am still trying to figure that out, so come figure it out with me, because it's a fun journey.
