About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spend more time on what's REALLY important in life!

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think I'm a pretty fun and outgoing guy. I've been a runner, cyclist, and outdoorsperson ever since I can remember, and find that getting out and elevating your heartbeat during these activities is what keeps me going in life.
My downfall is DEFINITELY work. I am a workaholic, and am coming to realize that I'm losing many of the things that really matter to me to my occupation such as family, friends, and MYSELF! I find that the more vacations I take the more I realize that life isn't all about that check every two weeks and working for the man. The juggle known as life is something I'm still trying to master, and want to travel to learn more!

PHILOSOPHY

Love is what guides all things that transforms us into the best person we can be. The greatest philosopher on this was Jesus--BAM!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to help other people like myself who want to see cool places and save a buck or two along the way. When surfing, I mainly use CS on my cycling trips. It's been a blessing to get quick tips on an area, and meet life-long travel friends. When hosting, I love showing the area I'm living in, but also am cool being a "hands off" host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wow--I rode through Alberta Canada and had the pleasure of staying with numerous couchsurfers as well as some in Glacier National Park.
I also rode from Portland to San Fransisco and stayed at a few couchsurfers house.
