Update: Recently settled down in Detroit after a year of adventuring abroad. Currently living in/fixing up a formerly abandoned hundred-year-old house that I bought for one thousand dollars. I studied theater in college and now I'm a plumber because life is funny like that.

Fire spinner, rust belt native. Mediocre at chess, above average listener. I love cooking food and eating it. Learning to ask better questions. DIY electrician, plumber, skateboarder, truck mechanic, remodel carpenter and guitar player. Favorite knot is the trucker's hitch. 

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met such smart, exceptional people and been a part of some truly incredible things. I asked for a couch in Germany and ended up at a Burner festival on a mountaintop in Switzerland.
