I've lived in Utah, Kentucky, Ohio, Texas, California, Washington, and Arizona. My mom is from Australia, and I visited my family there for about 3 months when I was 18.

I've been married since 2016 and we have a daughter who was born in 2017. My wife had the baby at home in our apartment, with a midwife and all that.

I've had quite a few jobs, but my favorite has been at a bike shop.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fun people and save money.

Interests

I like talking about pretty much anything. I like to argue and it drives my wife crazy when I do. I've lived without a car for most of the last 3 years, so biking is pretty important to me. I like mountain biking, but mostly I just use bikes to get around.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lately I've been getting back into the stuff I listened to in high school, like Senses Fail, Sum 41, and Dragonforce. But I also like funny stuff like Flight of the Conchords and Tenacious D, and some chill jams like Radical Face or Iron and Wine.

Books I've read recently (as of 1/31/18):
- How to be Idle
- How to be Free
- The Idle Parent
-The Tao of Pooh
- Oathbringer
- Winnie the Pooh

I recently watched the Big Lebowski for the first time. I'd say my favorite movies right now would have to be Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, The Dark Knight, and Fight Club

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once made this thing out of push pins and yarn that would let me turn off my bedroom lights without having to leave the top bunk of my bunk bed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm great at fixing things around the house, and I'm pretty good with computers. I've also fixed bicycles for a long time, so I'm pretty good at that too.
