I have a lot of interesting life experiences. I was born in California, grew up in Nebraska, then moved to Ohio. Virginia for college (I played Division 1 college football), Texas for graduate school, and England for PhD. I've played professional American football, have a blackbelt in taekwondo, am a world class powerlifter, have a scuba divemaster certificate, and a world class PhD. Lots of different interests there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm off to see the world! I have a PhD, but the two things I've read that has helped my life the most is my passport and strangers who become friends!
