About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a little bit better every day I'm alive.

ABOUT ME

I'm an entrepreneur living in Henderson, NV with my German Shepherd puppy.

I love to write, anything outdoors (hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding), running, and fitness. I read a lot, too, so there's a growing library for you to peruse during your stay =)

PHILOSOPHY

I embrace and enjoy learning more about every culture, religion, and philosophy. My friends come from every walk of life! There is nothing better than a great dialogue over a home-cooked meal with good friends. As I get older (and I'm only 28) I realize that I'm enjoying the simple things in life more and more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as much as possible!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've traveled to many parts of the world crashing on couches...it's the only way to travel! I'd gladly crash on a couch before I paid to stay in a fancy hotel whether I had the money or not. I always have and always will. It's great meeting people and saving some money at the same time.

Backpacking around Asia

Teach, Learn, Share

I study philosophy and theology like i'm a full-time student. i love philosophical debate and sharing ideas.

i'm also an entrepreneur (formerly in the health/nutrition and internet businesses) so i take a business approach to a lot of things and love solving problems. if you have an idea, i can probably help you develop it!

i can cook a few dishes pretty well, but i have a lot to learn and would love a couch surfer to put my kitchen to good use and show me how to make something new and different.

i also love learning new languages!
