From Iowa. I grew up in a large family which has it's perks. I've been blessed to have had the opportunities to live in some wicked awesome places: Tampa, St. Louis, and now, the Bay Area (Oakland). I work in sports advertising and enjoy simple design.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, listen to stories and learn of new places to add to my list of places to explore. Do my part in giving guests a pleasant experience at no-cost in hopes that when it's my turn as a guest, I have a positive experience. #GoodKarma

Interests

The outdoors. Backpacking. Camping. Fishing. Anything outdoors really. I also enjoy sitting on a patio with music and in good company.
