CURRENT MISSION

Leave the world a better place than upon arriving. Working in travel technology as a product strategist and business development aka professional bullshitter.

ABOUT ME

Born in Kentucky but Texas raised, I am a marketer by trade, fubol player by choice and explorer by nature. I now reside in Bloomington, Indiana trying to find the end of the internet.

Went to school at UT Austin, grew up around Houston, worked in Dallas, LA, Shanghai, Buffalo and now Bloomington.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a garden...dig it!

Love to learn from people and am willing to try most everything at least once :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am open to a little bit of everything and anything, trying to get more involved on all CS fronts :)

I have hosted a couple people in Bloomington, always happy to host in the future if you're around my neck of the woods.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Shanghai in 2008 and went to a CS party. I was blown away! The host spoke 4 languages and there were people of all walks of life and backgrounds conversing and being merry. Pretty awesome way to get launched into the CS world.
