About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find some land somewhere

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back kind of guy. I like hanging out with friends and looking at funny things on the internet and drinking a strong, black coffee. Working on projects around the house, running and playing sports are also some of my favorite things to do.

My wife Amber is a Montessori teacher, talented gardener, and amazing person all-around. We usually travel/host as a pair!

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness is like a boomerang, put it out into the world and it will come back to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I do a lot more hosting than surfing. But I have had some awesome surfing experiences in Alaska, Thailand, Michigan, and elsewhere. I love connecting with wandering souls from around the world.

Interests

Making lists, riding bicycles, cooking with curry, working in the garden, throwing the frisbee, making friends. I like human-powered devices, solar panels, brewing, and playing all types of sports and games.
