My home is a refuge for like-minded people seeking to commune with others.

I am a down-to-earth Pennsylvania native who has lived in Montana since 1997, and in Bozeman since 2007 except for two years in the Tetons. I spend my spare time running, mountain biking, and skiing. I doubt you will find anyone as laid back and easy to talk to. I have owned a construction company since 2009 but now only work an average of 100 days a year to spend as much time as possible with my three children and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is a small place and like-minded Couchsurfers make it even smaller. Several lifelong friends have been made through this wonderful community and I seek to continue that trend.

Interests

I am an avid traveler, runner, backpacker, rock climber, and reader who is comfortable and equipped for time in the city or weeks in the backcountry.
I also enjoy cooking and the occasional night out!
