About Me

CURRENT

ABOUT ME

I have many people to thank who have helped me get to where I am. However, I have to thank all of the couches that housed me in the past.

I am currently based out of Manchester, CT and I am infatuated with soccer/football, music, coffee food and art.

Obsessed with soccer/football! If you enjoy the beautiful game, it will be like we have known each other for years.

I also do a lot of home brewing (coffee) and would love to make you a cup or two as well!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a lot of money to pay it forward financially, but I am a resourceful guy who believes in finding other creative ways to help people on their journey through life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have no fear, my couch will save you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both hosted and been a guest!

Every year my gf and I visit Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival and we always crash with friends all over the city.

Interests

I grew up playing soccer/futbol back in Ohio and was given the chance to play in college, so , playing/watching futbol is a big part of my life.
Coffee!! Especially of the third wave variety!!
I also live for music shows, with interest in many genres.
I have a diverse group of friends and because of this diversity I have been introduced to many foods. I guess you can say I am a foodie.
Vinyl records anyone?
I study sports, so naturally, it is a big part of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped victims post Tuscaloosa Tornado! It was quite fascinating, yet incredibly depressing, to see someone's livelihood reduced to a door frame.

Helping people is paramount.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to look at myself as a trusted adviser. I like to give advice and receive it. I have got to where I am at using hard work and persistence but, at the end of the day, life is a team event.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An unparalleled level of enthusiasm for adventure! Coffee!
