I'm an adventurer who loves to travel and meet new people. I'm also an avid rock climber, mountain climber, and general outdoor enthusiast. I try and use my engineering skills to make the world a better place by helping build pedestrian footbridges in underdeveloped areas around the world. I've lived in Colorado for the past six years and would love to share my knowledge of the best hikes and breweries in the area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share expert recommendations for hikes near Denver and throughout Colorado. I can also give gear recommendations for a variety of outdoor activities. I can more than happily provide a belay at a local climbing gym or crag and am happy to share my skills to beginners or more advance rock climbers (I am by no means a guide). I can also share recycling tips after working in a recycling facility for over three years.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I work as a reliability engineer in the maintenance department of my plant so I am very good at troubleshooting mechanical problems around a home. I can also provide tech services for anyone in need. I'll even teach the basics of pedestrian footbridge building given enough time.
