CURRENT MISSION

Building a life in Portland, creating a dance space in my ballroom, and creating a community in my house.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going guy who doesn't fall into any one category very well. Generally I like to be spontaneous sometimes and planned others (if I make lot's of plans it gets me motivated to try to do them all!), but mostly I just want to have a good time and enjoy the company of others =)

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody knows how to respect one another so just do it. Treat people with kindness and respect, even if you can't see things their way.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participated by meeting new people and attending meetings in Australia- what a rush just flying overseas and jumping in! I just met some of my sister's friends and office-mates in Sydney and guess what? They are Couch Surfers too! So of course I added them as friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed to Cresson Texas and back with the Oregon State Solar Vehicle Team. It was amazing how the network came together and was able to accommodate 12 people in their houses in order to get the team to our competition.

I surfed in Melbourne with Petras, Katherine and Daniel, and Neil. I also used CS to get in on a Great Ocean Road drive and a CS Group meeting in Melbourne.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hiking in the Columbia River Gorge is one of the most spectacular scenes in the world. Whether it's hiking along ravines carved out by small streams or looking at the monstrous gashes left by the Glaciers of the past I am always impressed. It's also really fun to jump into the crisp refreshing mountain Ice water!

教，学，和分享

Mechanical Design
Massage Therapy (not professionally, but still got the mad Skilz, lol)
Cooking: what can I say? I like to eat good food so I like to cook good food. College student budgeting sometimes hinders that....
