ABOUT ME

Dinking around in investments in Minnesota, spending all my free time gardening, biking go different breweries, brewing beer, and grilling.

PHILOSOPHY

I like travelling cheap and dirty!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting folks, exchanging a cooked meal and a six pack and laughs for a night of sleep.

Interests

All things outdoors. Sailing, swimming, biking, backpacking, skiing, backcountry skiing, and most of all canoeing. I've guided outdoor trips before and love to spend as much time outside gardening and sipping beer outside when the sun is out.

I live within walking distance of a pile of breweries!
