I'm a newspaper editor in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. When I'm not working, I'm usually outside. I have a kind of clever, mostly silly sense of humor. I like good beer and good food, especially cheese.

Interested in Beer
Fluent in English
Learning German
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Save money and connect with other people, obviously! Couchsurfers have shown me great generosity during my travels, and I want to pass on that generosity.
Music, Movies, and Books
I like indie pop/rock, jazz and bluegrass music. I don't watch many movies, but when I do it has to be heavy, deep drama or something outrageously awful. I read many works of non-fiction.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I recently biked the Tuscobia Ultra Race in snow and rain from Park Falls to Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It was part miserable, part fun, epic and a bit surreal.
Teach, Learn, Share
I brew beer and make maple syrup and have plenty to share.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'd be happy to cook a meal for you if given access to a kitchen and cooking wares.
My Interests
Mountain biking is my favorite activity, followed closely by cross country skiing. I also do quite a bit of paddling, hiking, showshoeing, camping and other outdoor pursuits. I love cards and board games
