I'm currently 29 years old, happily married and ready to take on new adventures. I've worked the last 6 years for a large financial institution and will be starting a new career at the end of 2015 in Chiropractic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My wife is from Brasil (Recife) and we would like to explore different areas of the country in order to find a location that we would consider living in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With the help of my wife we built our first home together. I've also been fortunate enough to have played college and professional baseball. Although I never played in the "big leagues" I'll never forget the first time I was paid to play the game I loved as a kid. Lastly, coming from the U.S. its very easy to get by without learning a 2nd language. However, with my wife's help I've been able to learn a pretty good Portuguese and it has been one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.

What I Can Share with Hosts
