ABOUT ME

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host one or two and I aim to start surfing more often as soon as I can take some time off from the work place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't yet used the site to surf, but I did quite a bit of old-school couchsurfing during my time hiking the NC and Tennessee sections of the Appalachian Trail.

Interests

Most of my time is spent on the brew stand. I'm a brewer at Mother Earth Brewing company in Kinston, NC. When I'm not brewing I enjoy playing music with my band, cooking nice meals, working on my house, or going to the beach.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things that I've ever seen was the sun setting over the karst formations that line the Li River Valley in Guilin, China. That experience was rivaled by diving the barrier reef in Belize and mountaineering the southern face of Mt. Baker in Washington State.
