About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as I can absorb about the cultivation and preparation of the foods of the world.

ABOUT ME

I am first and foremost a cook. Though for me, that is a just a way to provide people with good, healthy, sustainable foods - whenever it is earthly possible. I want to embark on a trip to the Mediterranean region of Europe to learn as much as I can about the European food system. I eventually would like to own a restaurant/farm/CSA in my home state of Michigan.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't laugh, why live?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook you a mean dinner or brunch. I can teach you many of the fundamentals of cooking and share a few of my favorite recipes and maybe a few stories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I have never officially CouchSurfed through this site, I have moved across the country via couch before.
When I moved to Denver, I was only supposed to be there for a couple of weeks but the absolute beauty of waking each morning to be greeted by those breath-taking mountains was beyond me to escape from. I ended up staying for nearly 3 years

Interests

This is just too ambiguous. I enjoy Life and all of its ups & downs.

  • beauty
  • dining

  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical tastes span the entire spectrum. Though I tend to lean towards more beat oriented songs. Jazz, Hip-Hop, Punk, Metal, Bossa Nova so on
My favorite authors are Douglas Adams, Aldous Huxley, Chuck Palahnuik, Anthony Bourdain, J.R.R. Tolkien
I love the works of Wes Anderson, The Coen Brothers, Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan, and Sam Mendes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise over the Mediterranean Sea from the beach in Costa Del Sol while sitting on my brand new Moroccan rug.
