About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live well and find ways to enhance ordinary things in life.

ABOUT ME

I'm 28 and have lived in Michigan most of my life; it's a good place to be. I spent a summer in Maine as a camp counselor, and have traveled a fair amount for work and fun. I'm pretty laid back and easy-going, and enjoy good conversation. I'm a high school hockey coach and work at a custom display company where I design and sell custom desks to hospitals across the country.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people well, live honestly, and make the most of every opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is definitely open, and have enjoyed hosting some folks as they've traveled through Michigan. I have also been hosted by generous people in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed at a few different places and also hosted some couch surfers that have visited G-Rap.
