CURRENT MISSION

Either curing diseases or Mario Kart. We'll see which works out.

ABOUT ME
I graduated from vet school a year ago. I'm now working as a comparative medicine resident at the University of Missouri. My wife and I have a menagerie of different pets in our home. I am a scientist so I tend to visit a lot of zoos and museums when I travel. I also really enjoy a trying the local beers and hiking.

PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is mainly to try to do something meaningful and lasting with my time on earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to couch surf when I travel because I travel alone a fair amount and staying in a hotel alone is really boring. I prefer to meet locals and explore the city. I'm always looking for unique experiences, and than mentality seems everywhere in the couch surfing community.

Interests

I love animals both wild and domestic. I'm also fascinated by space exploration and paleontology. I'm also a bit of movie buff and a big Batman fan.
