ABOUT ME

Hello. Come on by if you are passing through St. Louis. My wife and I live 15 minutes east of the arch with our little baby boy. 5 minutes from the Belleville Metrolink station. Huge couch to crash on.

For those of you who get a couchsurfing request from me, I do not blanket request cities, but rather, have actually read your profile and dug it. I actually do give a shit about you and your house. I expect the same from those who request mine.

PHILOSOPHY

اعمل لدنياك كأنك تعيش أبدا و اعمل لآخرتك كأنك تموت غدا

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My presence will make couchsurfing a safer, better organism. I shall not steal and will always respect others' physical and emotional space. I really enjoy CS meetings and music and food booze travelling blah blerg, blunk nvjefvkdj.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It seems that there is always someone on my couch anyway, as soon as I signed up everybody moved out. So far, nobody seems to have had a bad experience. Most of the people that I have hosted were not couchsurfers, but feel free to read the reviews of those that have stayed to get an idea of what kind of host and surfer I am.

Seriously, that was it? What the hell just happened? Law studies got in the way I guess...Crazy busy year!!!

2012: No travel yet this year other than 3 days in Chicago, IL and 3 days in Nashville, TN over Spring Break. In the first 22 minutes in Nashville we found 1) a parking space, 2) the mortal remains of ex-president James K. Polk, and 3) ourselves alone on the floor of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. I still cannot believe that happened.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bungee jumped in front of Dolly Parton's house and my friend Josh's uncle is the only man alive that is legally allowed to photograph her. I also once witnessed all of the future---all at once, but I forgot most of the details.
