CURRENT MISSION

Becoming the Portland Yelp Duke.

ABOUT ME

I believe in the mission of couchsurfing. As iron sharpens iron, people sharpen people.

Yelp is the best website.
Ice cream is the best creation. Ever.
I'm a social worker as a civilian.
I'm an aviation officer for the Army Reserve.
My favorite hobby is singing and playing guitar.
Portland is the best city in the world. Shut up Seattle.
I want to become a Youtube star.
My real height is 5'6", but I lie on profiles and put 5'7".
Favorite movie is Saving Private Ryan. Second favorite is Sideways.
Favorite musician is John Mayer.
I suck at poker. I'm too transparent. I suck at lying.

Any more questions??

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Prescribing couchsurfing to cure cynicism.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did a road trip from LA - Portland - DC - Atlanta - New Orleans - Austin - El Paso - LA - and back to Portland, and couchsurfed throughout the whole trip. Met amazing people, heard incredible stories, made new friends, and got to see America from new and fascinating angles. Currently in the process of accumulating hosting experiences! Looking forward to meeting more couchsurfers!
