ABOUT ME

I love to travel. I'm an aspiring, which is to say poor and unappreciated glass artist. It's my life dream to be able to support myself as an artist, but currently I'm still just trying to get my foot in the door.

To make a living, I also work as a handyman, if you need any small repairs/maintenance to your home there's a good chance I can help you out.

I studied art, philosophy, and natural sciences at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Reading is one of my favorite activities, it's like having a conversation with the greatest minds in history. I also love movies, sports (especially college football), shooting the breeze, long walks on the beach, etc, etc.

I've always loved the ancient Greek belief that hospitality is sacred. That's what drew me to couchsurfing more than a decade ago, and it's been such an awesome force in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in taking chances on happiness, self-respect, personal responsibility, and living as honestly, both with myself and with others, as I possibly can.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
