ABOUT ME

I'm a planner. Doesn't matter if the plan is nothing, but I like being a step ahead. I'm a sharer. You're going to try my food when we go out. I try to say yes to as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Be Cool. Control what you can control.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have stayed with friends who do couchsurfing, and have had the pleasure of hosting one true couchsurfer. I have friends stay at the house at least once or twice a month.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with friends in NYC, Va Beach, Richmond, DC, ATL. Haven't hosted many couch surfers, but my house turns into a young adult hostel during college football season.

Interests

I like seeing live shows, learning new skills to work on my house, being with friends, having a great cold beer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a band kid in college. Performed in front of 100,000 person crowds. Awe struck.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to play the tuba, though I'm bad now from a lack of practice. I teach history and personal finance. I can maybe tell a story about the US or Knoxville.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house usually has some food and booze in it. I'm open to sharing.
