CURRENT MISSION

remember the past, but live in the present

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going guy that adapts to about any situation. I enjoy good conversations and love telling over-the-top stories about things that happen in my mundane life. I'm a realist, and rationalize almost everything. This means there's almost nothing that stresses me out, and I think the world/people are generally good, unless you give me reason to believe otherwise.

I love my job, but I love to travel. The two are eternally at odds. I want design and dream and draw in the office, but I also want to leave it all and explore the world. I continually try to be an ambassador to break down the American stereotypes and standards given to us by our parents, and adapting more global and cultural values and "life goals" proving we don't have to be stuck in the college-marriage-9 to 5 job-retire pattern we think we have to conform to. If for some reason I appear "normal" and "settled" to you now, it's because some great disruption is in the works!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch surfed a little when I lived in England and traveled through Europe. Then met some folks in Australia. Hosted some folks in the fabulous city of Muncie IN. Had quite a few folks when I lived in Indianapoils, and less now that I've been living with roommates in Pittsburgh. When I've got my own place that is mine entirely to offer, you know the door will stay open!
