CURRENT MISSION

I have no lease this year. I've been staying with friends across the country bringing my laptop to work from their house or cafe's.

ABOUT ME

I'm 35, from the midwest, no kids but I'm the greatest uncle my nephew knows. I'm funny, an artist, I make good conversation, I get along with everyone, I'm mellow. I worked at summer camp for seven summers and have a wealth of friends from it.

PHILOSOPHY

I dunno, get the most out of life through experiences and relationships with other people. Laugh as much as possible. Let go of what I can't control and be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never done it!

Interests

subway performers, street performers, eccentric cats, crappy mass produced things like crappy business cards, crappy fliers, crappy children's product packaging photography, and halloween costume crappy packaging photography, missing pet fliers, when there is just one shoe randomly on the street or sidewalk, when check-out and coffee shop employees start to ignore me and gossip amongst themselves, the Detroit Lions, the Detroit Pistons.

I saw an incredible sunset on Lake Michigan in 1992 with some friends. My friend asked "where is the rest of the world right now?"
