I'm married to a wonderful woman who puts up with everything I do and have two beautiful daughters (5 & 7). I'm a project manager by day at a web development company and by night (and EEEEARLY morning) I train junior high and high school athletes at my own strength and conditioning facility.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to be visiting Germany in a few months and want to backpack the country. Instead of doing the tourist thing, I thought it would be much more exciting and interesting to stay with local people who know the local culture and points of interests. I want the inside info!

Interests

I'm an avid CrossFitter and love to seek out new and interesting places to exercise. I am very independent and like to go out searching and exploring on my own. I don't like to be tied down to a rigid, set agenda and tend to fly by the seat of my pants. Some of my best experiences have come from doing something unplanned.

• culture
• cooking
• exercise
• dieting
• flying
• traveling
• backpacking

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Hip hop, alternative/grunge rock, and everything else. Probably in that order. There's no music I DON'T listen to.

Movies: Meh...I don't have much extra time for movies, although The Big Lebowski...I mean come on. Great.

Books: I used to travel for my job so I had a lot of time to read. I've read everything from "The 4-Hour Workweek" to "On The Road" and everything in between. I guess I'm diverse like that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lost 100 pounds and have kept that weight off for 4 years and counting!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I love teaching people that want to learn about dieting and exercise. It changed my life and for those that are seeking that advise, I love to give it to them.

Learn: I'd just love to learn how to affordably travel internationally. It's something I've never done but have always wanted to.

Share: I love to cook and tell stories. People I know seem to think I'm funny for some reason, so I guess I can regale you with a tale or two...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Myself! I'm good at picking things up and putting them down, so if you need furniture moved, I'm your man. Or if you need to have a project that needs managed, I'm fairly well versed at doing that. Other than that, I can share my life stories and tales about traveling all around the United States.
