CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, then do it again.

ABOUT ME

I've recently gotten out of U.S. Army after five years of service. I went on three tours as an Infantryman. I spent two years in the middle east between Iraq and Afghanistan, then spent 6 months in New Orleans for the hurricane relief.

I'm finely out and couldn't be happier. I make it a point to speak out against both wars to whoever will listen and consider myself an extreme pacifist. I no longer take part in politics but try to enjoy life to fullest. Our time is short and I want to see as much as possible. More importantly I want to meet good-hearted people and establish friendships.

I consider myself an avid cyclist and backpacker. I would love to hear of nice hikes and routes in your neighbourhood ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Oh man, this is a tough one and I think its something you struggle with your entire life. I do know some things for sure though; treat all life with respect and compassionately as possible, never exploit or allow yourself to be exploited by someone else, and you're only on this world for a fraction of a second.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted several couch surfers under my roommates account and its been an awesome experience. I hope to learn the ins and outs of the project so I can improve it to the best of my abilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Another hard question. I think you can find something amazing with just about anything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone how to fix a bicycle or clime a mountain.

I also consider myself well rounded with lots of life experience. I guess I'm saying I'm good with advice ;)

Oh yeah, if you ever want Linux on that computer, I can do that too.
