ABOUT ME
All about me huh? Well, I'm a 28 year old cali-born christian guy with a passion for God, youth ministry, art, playing music, surfing(on waves :), and just about anything I could possibly break a bone doing ;). I spent 7 years after high school traveling around the world with the US air force then decided to leave and pursue a career in youth ministry which just so happened to wind me up on the south coast of Ireland...Go figure :). I lived there for 3 years in rosscarbery, one of the most beautiful spots I've seen on this planet with a few great surf spots near by. Now I'm in Prescott, Arizona hitting up my next 4 years at Embry Riddle Aeronautical university. Wild times :)
PHILOSOPHY
I enjoy connecting with those others from across the globe and learning from other cultures and lifestyles as well as sharing from my own experiences in life. I'm a man simply seeking the truth, humility, and love in this lifetime.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My wife and I would love to have you crash with us for a few nights in Prescott, Arizona. We have 2 and a half couches in the living room to choose from so technically we could host two full sized people and one little person :-) . I love couch surfing! It's the most amazing way to meet friends all over the world and learn why they love the place they live.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have surfed in crawley, England and Arica, Chile. Looking forward to hosting and surfing with future friends from all over the globe :). Couches are plush to sleep on. Being a youth worker, I've slept on far worse surfaces in my life time :).
Interests
Surfing (like with a surfboard:), snowboarding, sector 9 long boarding, mountain biking, soccer, painting ( abstract canvas and graffiti styles), music (blues harmonica and guitar). A recent affinity to the board game carcassonne :)
