About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To surf in Central America later this year!

ABOUT ME

Like many on this site, I enjoy travelling to new places and meeting interesting people. I have been fortunate to have traveled in Europe, the Middle East, and Central America.

I am University of Kansas alumni, which makes me a KU basketball fan. KU football, on the other hand, is another story...

I am a pretty laid back guy who is just as comfortable drinking and dancing the night away, as I am people watching over a cup of coffee.

I come from a large family (seven siblings!), so family is quite important to me. I also have a seven year old nephew who I get to hang out with every Sunday. He is pretty awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, I host, and I have met some interesting and wonderful people along the way. My current focus is to become more active in my local CouchSurfing community, both in participating and organizing events/meetups.

Interests

Singing off-key and playing the guitar quite terribly.

Cooking breakfast. Dinner, not so much.

Running. If it's a race, all the better.

Camping, backpacking, climbing, pretty much anything that can be done outdoors.

Beer. Particularly the microbrew and homebrew variety.

British television programming. I enjoy the quirky, off-center, dry humor that is the BBC.
