I spend pretty much all my time climbing or in the shop making custom furniture. In the last three years of my life I've done long distance backpacking, traveled through Europe and Southeast Asia climbing, worked as a wilderness therapy field staff, and worked for a non profit helping low income families build their own homes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a whole air-conditioned house to myself, I spend most of every day here alone working and would be stoked to have some company and provide some people with place to stay.

Teach, Learn, Share

Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.

You can not create humility, you can only give it a place to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can entertain a conversation about philosophy or science but I like to draw a line between the two. I don't care to debate. I enjoy talking with others who ponder cause and effect and converse about the different aspects of being human and how they interact. I rarely fail to offer a unique perspective on a specific subject or a new view on the big picture.
