Hey! I'm an easygoing part time adventure bum. I'm a musician playing guitar and harmonica; rock climbing, mixed martial artist; and chef. I love meeting and connecting with new people from very different backgrounds.

My wife is my adventure companion, best friend, and fascinating human.

We hope to leave your life richer than we found it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and make friends not just stay in a bed in some strange impersonal motel. I love stories and strangers are fascinating to me. Beware I will get your life story out of you before I leave.
