I am a straight single male living in Salt Lake City with my cousin. I study at the University of Utah, just down the street. My undergraduate is in Exercise Physiology and I am in the process of applying to graduate school for Occupational Therapy. As a bartender and server downtown Salt Lake, the close proximity of our duplex to the heart of the city is paramount. I love hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and rockclimbing, thankfully, Salt Lake offers all of that for me. Lastly, I work for Rocky Mountain Aquatics as a Scuba Dive instructor. I miss California and the ocean a lot, but Instructing gets me my fix of the water until my next visit to the coast. What is my favorite childhood past time that I still engage in secretly you might ask? Tree Climbing...the taller the better. Hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people, travel, and helping where and when I can. I've been fortunate enough to receive travel help and assistance in the past and I hope to return those favors.

Interests

Most anything that involves people or the outdoors. Sailing, surfing, and diving were my biggest hobbies in California. A change of pace lately, living in Utah has allowed me to venture out into other areas. Mountaineering, back-country skiing, and rock climbing have taken up most of my free time since being here. I suppose education should be listed under interests since I spend so much time in school.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm just going to give a smattering of current favorites of mine. Hank Williams, Harry Conick Jr., Alt-j, Ben Howard, Edith Piaf, Odesza, flight of the concords...etc.

Anything with brad pitt, burn after reading, troy, most things with russell crowe, he is the man. Also, catch me if you can with leonardo dicaprio, and great gatsby. Now that I think about it, leonardo is amazing.

I love classic books. Gullivers travels, adventures of huck finn, cats cradle, east of eden, and anything written by Hemingway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Speared 13 stingrays in an afternoon and ate them on the beach for dinner that night.

I am so sorry, I don't know what this section is asking for. I will go check out some other profiles and come back and fill it in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happy to negotiate. Everyone usually wants/needs something a bit different. Cash, booze, or my money laundering secrets stolen from the Rockefellers.
