CURRENT MISSION

50 states in 25 years... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Up next 7 continents in 50 years... 3 down 5 to go!

ABOUT ME

I try to keep an open mind and explore as many different people, cultures and experiences as possible. When not off on some crazy adventure I am working as volunteer coordinator for a homeless shelter here in Cincy. I enjoy sketching, reading and cruising around on my scooter. Pretty chill dude.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to extend a couch, a kind word, and an attentive ear to any respectful traveler, and I intend to do my part during my travels to enrich the lives of those I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in both the 49th and 50th states, as well as Detroit, Chicago, and New York and I met up with some fellow couch surfer in Rio de Janeiro. Hosted a couple of times here at my parent's house, my apartment, and my house in Cincinnati.
