I am an easy going guy and have a good sense of humor. I grew up in Minnesota and I am the youngest of 9 kids(being the youngest, I definitely had to have thick skin!). I lived in Las Vegas for 4 years and I currently live in Denver, Colorado. I like meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I like helping people and dogs and I volunteer at a few shelters. Disclaimer: I think Trump is a lunatic and I voted against him.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get off the beaten path and to try and meet natives. I want to see a more authentic side of the city I'm visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a Japanese coaster(Dodonpa) near the base of Mount Fuji that owns the Guinness Book of World records for fastest acceleration. It went 0 to 117mph(172kph) in 1.7 seconds! It definitely takes your breath away!
