My wife and I are professionals in and around state government. We live outside of the state capital. We love to travel and wish we had more time to do it. We have a small dog (a Jack Russell terrier) who makes fast friends with anyone who visits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is the single greatest tool for cultural exchange that I have ever experienced. I have surfed in several European cities, and my wife and I have hosted surfers of all kinds in Harrisburg. Every single experience has opened our minds to new perspectives and made us better humans. We want to continue those cultural exchanges for our whole lifetimes.

Interests

I like reading, politics, debating, bike riding, traveling, plays, sports, whiskey, beer... I feel there is a beauty in everything and if you experience it with an open mind, you'll enjoy it.
