ABOUT ME

Hello! I am 32 years old. In December I completed a five year apprenticeship program for Sprinklerfitting which is the skilled trade of installing and servicing fire protection systems. I am part of a nationwide union which enables me to find work in most U.S. cities and states. In January I started performing stand up comedy after a seven year hiatus. In April 2014 I put all my stuff in storage in Fort Wayne and am doing some traveling while I explore the possibility of doing comedy full time. After just a short amount of traveling I realize that I can not live in Indiana any more. So as part of my journey I am also trying to find a new place to live. I am considering finding work in North Dakota or Alaska just to make some money to keep on traveling, adventuring and working on comedy. I really just want to keep learning, growing and exploring for the rest of my life. I enjoy outdoor sports like hiking, kayaking and rock climbing. I run and do yoga when I am not being lazy or "busy" I enjoy a lot of differnt foods, music, movies and other experiences. I am open minded and easy to get along with. I suppose I should mention that first and foremost I consider myself to be on a spiritual journey. I do not drink or use any mind altering substances but if you do that does not bother me and I still enjoy going out with friends to clubs or bars to socialize. I beleive friends and family members I have stayed with in the past would all say that I am an ideal house guest. My attitude of what can I add to someones life rather than what can I get is probably the reason for this. I can usually find a way to get along with just about anyone. I have also worked as a grill cook, a fitness club employee, and various jobs that have provided me with a wealth of skills and experiences. Well I don't really know what else to say here if there is anything you would like to know just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

I have some core values- Joy, Truth and Power and I try to live in a way that honors those values. I value many things like family, adventure, freedom...but ultimately I realized I value those things because they bring me closer to the experience of these main three.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well at this time I am looking to focus on comedy when I visit an area. So during the day I will probably write and rehearse and at night I will be seeking out open mics and opportunities to perform. I am interested in exploring also but I need to have some focus! As long as we are clear on expectations I will certainly do what is expected of me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this site but I have done my share of couch surfing in the past! Both as a host and as a "surfer"
