Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet others, have fun, try not to work too much, and enjoy life while I can.
ABOUT ME
I'm 24, I live about 3 miles from DFW airport.
I run a handful of very small internet marketing related companies.
I love to travel although haven't done much of that lately.
I'm known for my spontaneous adventures and random road trips.
I used to road race motorcycles.
I'm good with computers.
I'm well read so I can carry on a conversation on most topics.
I'm easily entertained but also self sufficient.
I have a quirky/dry sense of humor and can often be a smart-ass.
You'll think I'm a jerk if you don't realize that most things I say are a joke.
I get along with all types.
I'm equally as good at cooking as I am at ordering out.
I love almost everything about being outdoors, minus extreme heat and mosquitoes.
Hiking, camping, biking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, you name it.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't put off to tomorrow what can be done today. Stay positive. Help others as much as you can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Both my 1 bedroom apartment (pretty large with a wonderful view) and my office are within 5 minutes of DFW airport. I haven't been doing much traveling recently so I figure I can host for now, and do some surfing down the road.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have met some awesome people! Hosted one so far and was hosted by one myself. Wonderful group of people on here.
Interests
Meeting new people, random conversations, working, dining out, outdoors stuff, speaking and training, traveling, sports, I love the Dallas Mavericks, drink occasionally, motorcycle racing, telling stories, and learning new things. I love learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Road raced motorcycled.
Traveled the U.S.
Started a drug and alcohol awareness non-profit when I was 16.
Started several companies.
Was friends with Myspace's co-founder, Tom Anderson.
Flew a 747 at age 7 (fun story).
Convinced my relatives I was going over Niagra Falls in a barrel.
Interviewed celebrities.
I'm sure there's other things, but I've already done lots of typing trying to fill this out as completely as a can :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I learned in racing that you need to look where you're headed because you go where you're looking. If someone crashes in front of you and you look at them, you'll hit them. If you continue to look where you're supposed to be going, you'll make it there instead.
This translates into everyday life. Continue to look where you want to go, and don't get distracted by the small crashes, hurdles, and obstacles along the way. You'll eventually get where you're looking.
