I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon and I've lived all over the West Coast. I work as a journalist for a newspaper in Fairbanks, Alaska. I'm curious about everything and I am always looking to have a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine told me about the app and sounds like a great place to meet new people. What better way to travel than to stay with the locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most every kind of music, but Alice In Chains is my fave. I saw Ghost live in Tucson and it blew my mind. I like music with a good dance vibe too. My favorite movies are O Brother Where Art Thou, I Love You Man, The Jungle Book (Disney cartoon), Dumb and Dumber, Machete, Aliens, Hellraiser and the Watchmen. I read a lot at stuff across multiple genres but Kurt Vonnegut is probably my favorite.
