I live in a medium sized town in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. I work as IT systems engineer for a data center. When I'm not working I like to travel, cook, and go to festivals and events around town.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and meet people from other cultures. And I want to live like a local. I love learning the real history and stories of the places I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know that it's amazing but I did the 900 foot jump from the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk and teach. I can tell you all about where I live and the places I've traveled. I can teach about anything I know (local culture, cooking, computers, etc.). I want to learn everything. But I'd be especially happy to learn Spanish, cooking, or how to dance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook. I've been cooking as a hobby for a couple of years now. I'm no chef but I can help out in the kitchen. Or with any other chores around the house.

I can fix or build computer systems/networks of any size and scale. I'm also pretty handy in general.
