About Me

I am an open minded person hoping to learn more about myself before deciding what to do for a living. I want to be happy with what I do so I can continue doing it for an extended period of time. That noted, I enjoy sitting down and having a good conversation and a drink with people that I am getting to know better.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open minded and expose yourself to new things. You never know what could be your favorite food if you've never tried it before!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up for CS a long time ago, used it a little bit while traveling and now I may be getting to the point where I can host. Honestly forgot I had this profile set up.

Music, Movies, and Books

Radiohead, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Cake, Beck, Deadmau5, Girl Talk, Justice, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Spank Rock, Lil Wayne, Metric, and Modest Mouse to name a few. My favorite book is either The Stand by Stephen King or House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. I also enjoy reading about beer and the process of brewing so I can learn more about what I can do with home brewing. The Complete Joy of Homebrewing by Charles Papazian is a good place to start if you're interested in brewing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played harmonica for death row inmates at a prison.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very enthusiastic about home brewing beer and love teaching people about it any opportunity I get.
