Overview
About Me
I'm a pretty laid-back guy from the gulf shore of Florida who never really knows what I want. The solution? Try everything. I'm a firm believer of "don't knock it till you try it," and will answer almost every invitation with a shrug and "I'm down." When I'm not flying to Boston for a video game tournament or out on the streets painting a mural, I'm either sipping coffee at dinner or crashed out on the couch in the lounge. I'm a huge advocate for late-night adventures on railroad tracks, an active IM sports supervisor, an amateur artist, and I even cloned myself (if having an identical twin counts as that).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The world is huge, and I can only hope to experience as much of it as possible, and the best way to do that is through getting to know other people; Couchsurfing lets me do exactly that. I much rather be chilling with someone who is interested in sharing their ideas and passions than be propped up in hotels all by myself. While my hosting capabilities are restricted as of now (unless you want to make the double dorm a triple!) I definitely plan on hosting when I've got my own place to share.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Set up an amateur boxing match just because of some smack talk thrown around during the Mayweather v. Pacquiao ticket. Managed to sell a bunch of tickets and t-shirts (all for charity though!) to people who wanted to watch two close friends duke it out in the middle of a field. All around an awesome experience.
Teach, Learn, Share
Anything that you'd want to know about me or where I come from, I am thrilled to share. My most popular requests are normally "If I hit you, does your twin also feel it?" and "Can you see through the eyes of your twin?" and while those are both ridiculous questions, the answer is invariably yes to both. If you want to learn some karate or Brazilian jiu jitsu, I'm also your guy. In terms of learning, I love interacting with other cultures, most particularly trying and discussing food, but am eager to do anything.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm a master of eggs, they are the essence of my nutrition, so I can cook a mean breakfast anyway you like. I'm constantly trying to improve my artistic skills, so if you'd like a portrait of you (or your dog, if you’re into that), I'd love to try and practice. Quality work is not guaranteed. For some reason, I actually enjoy doing yard work too, so if you've got a tree to chop down and an axe, lemme go at it.
