Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Set a world record by Traveling around the US on the most efficient mode of transportation ever imagined , the electric bicycle
ABOUT ME
I'm a dreamer with a ridiculous amount of passions. I love to travel (clearly). Motorcycling and bicycling has been one of the great joys of my adult life. I'm also a huge alternative/indie music aficionado. I build these ridiculous electric bicycle contraptions.
PHILOSOPHY
Comfort does not equal happiness. Maximalistic minimalist. Doing more with less
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Though I heard about couch surfing years ago, I'm fairly new to actually using it. I'm hoping to host more, but I live out of the city quite a while and I'm not sure many people will bother, but here's hoping.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hope to make some serious cross-country memories this summer while I attempt to break the guinness world record for longest journey on a motorized bicycle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I rode a motorcycle around Iceland with my wife. That place is the end of the earth. It doesn't look real.
