About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To gain as much perspective as I can from as many people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a really laid back fun loving kinda guy. I do a have a serious side when the occasion calls for it though. Most of my friends consider me to be pretty adventurous, but in my experience its the "crazy" times/things in life that change us and make us into who we are. I'm all about perspective and the more of it one can get the better off we can understand one another.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to leave things better than when I got there. I take to heart the saying, treat others the way you want to be treated. I try to be tactfully, yet completely straight forward and honest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My wife and I really enjoy meeting new people, and depending on when your in town we likely have a place for somone to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a few really neat people through couch surfing. I haven't had the opportunity to do much couch surfing myself though.

Interests

I love mountains and water. Pretty much anything that gives an adrenaline rush, but I also like just relaxing and sipping a cup of coffee around a campfire way out in the middle of nowhere. There is something about the majesty of a mountain that puts me back in my place and shows the greatness of the creator. I am a deeply committed Christian. A christian by choice and not default. I strive to learn more about God through his creation and through interaction with different people with different perspectives. I don't try and "convert" people or push my beliefs on others.
I have a passion for health, particularly preventative health because I think its better to stop a problem before it starts rather than trying to play catch-up on a disease that has already taken over. That being said I am a chiropractic student working on my Doctor of Chiropractic at Parker University.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most any books,
particularly books that cause me to think and evaluate myself. I like writing that is witty.
I guess I have kinda a sarcastic type of humor in movies,
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Pink Panther
Bourne Movies
Inception
The End of the Spear

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We live in such an amazing world it is hard to pick just a few and then even harder to put into words the feelings involved with an awesome experience. The biggest adrenaline rush I have ever had probably came from sky-diving, however, ridge-walking on a mountain with cliffs on either side is a pretty close second. I loved canoeing while I was in missouri/arkansas there are some of the most beautiful rivers in those areas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like open minded people. I don't mind if you don't agree with me as long as you know what you believe and why. In some way everyone I meet is my superior, so in that way I try to learn from anyone I meet.
ps. that is a stolen quote, I just can't remember who I stole it from.
