About Me

I'm currently attending Millsaps College in Jackson Mississippi. I'm from Austin Texas, and born in Tucson AZ. I'm the type of person to take my motorcycle on a spontaneous trip to the beach, get lost, and pass out by the water reading a book about philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted a wedding band that came to Austin for a gig. There were just two musicians that stayed with me. Both lived in various places all around the world and had an infinite amount of experience and wisdom to share. It was a very eye opening experience to have such unique people give a perspective check. I surprised myself with how much I could share my own experiences. This is what Frans Johansson would describe as an Intersectional event in his book The Medici Effect. It's basically where great things happen

Interests

I'm going to college to get an MBA to further my steel business. Check out some of the work we do at, Corecustommetalworks.com.
There's a lot of things that require attention and I think moderation is key.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Week long survival trip in the Gila Nation Wilderness with a friend. We didn't bring food, water, or a tent, only tools. It was probably the best thing we've ever done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully a friend, some good stories, and a promise not to be a prick. And down the line I wish to return the help that everyone has given.
