About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Avenging tooth decay to save the world!!!!!

ABOUT ME

I pretty much have immersed myself in the world of dentistry. I am working on becoming a skilled craftsman in the art of dental prosthetics. It is pretty cool. I think if you can change someone's smile, you can change their life. With that, I usually don't go out and hit the bars during the week. I am lucky if I make it out to dinner or a local coffee house to read. I love to explore new restaraunts and bars with friends though. You should come hang out.

PHILOSOPHY

Take life one day at a time because things that you thought were so important at one time mean nothing to you the next day. I am happy to have such a great opportunity to build my own dental practice and live in this amazing country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch has been a couch of refuge for fellow couchsurfers. 3 times I have hosted/hung out with couchsurfers of mutual friends because their host had something come up. I have met some really great people and I love to hear others view on life and world in general.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to couch surf. I have only hosted. One time a couchsurfer came to my house to use my kitchen. He cooked an amazing meal and showed me his bifid uvula. Google it. :)

Interests

My dogs Jasmine and Gracie, running, teeth, live music, shopping, and going to pubs.

Music, Movies, and Books

Most of the books I read would probably bore you. I read textbooks most of the time. I did however read the Kite Runner over christmas break. Awesome book. Highly reccomend. I am currently reading "what is the what" It is a book about the lost boys in Sudan. I like any kind of music but rap and country. I love Dave Mathews, David Gray, Maroon 5, James Blunt, Jeff Buckley. . . . .

Any of the 80's classic movies can be found on my DVD/VCR rack.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just finished a dental mission trip to nicaragua. It is amazing how people are so happy in Central America and yet still so poor. IT is refreshing to be in a culture where material goods do not dertermine your happiness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am pretty good at playing the drums on rockband and can teach you all about the anatomy of the head and neck. Yeah, that's all I got.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Virgin Islands, British, Virgin Islands, U.S.

United States
