CURRENT MISSION

To Win Friends and Influence People.

ABOUT ME

1: I drive a forklift. 2: I read self-help books 3: I breathe baseball. I'm always looking for ideas for 1 and 2, and always trying to figure out how to get paid for number 3.

PHILOSOPHY

My goal is to always be respectful and add value to other people. If I know a way to help you improve, I love to offer it to you. That's how I roll.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I rode my bike across the country, too. I know how it is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my experience revolves around hosting out of town friends at my home, though I will say that my wife and I are excellent guests as well.

Interests

Dogs and Small Children LOVE me. I am in my element when I can play sports or compete. I love the Red Sox. I enjoy romantic comedies. My favorite breakfast involves an omelet. I miss the original American Gladiators. I just discovered how rad ESPN classics are. Old baseball games are among my favorites. I don't know what it is, but I really like dribbling basketballs or throwing footballs in the house. I love to eat good food. On the flip side, one of my biggest pet peeves is eating empty calories. What is it about Classical Piano? I love it! I pray for random people... I've probably prayed for you once or twice. Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie. I have a surprising interest in Proverbs. Virgin socks are my guilty pleasure. I brag about dominating middle schoolers. I can't help it, I love to win. I appreciate the influence I get from close friends. I'm not afraid to dream big, and sometimes that thought scares me. I've accomplished two of the coolest/cruelest feats you can in sports... I've broke up a no-hitter with 2 outs in the 6th inning of a little league game, and I coached against, and beat, a man with a 5 year winning streak. I have a thing for yogurt and juice.
