CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, enjoy life, learn new things, help other people.

ABOUT ME

My wife and I are both attending Arizona State University. I am working on my Master's in [Family]Sociology and she on her Bachelor's in Graphic Design.
We are very devout Christians that keep the 7th day Sabbath as well as all of the Biblical food laws and prescribed Holy days. This, however, does not relegate us to the ranks of the fuddy-duddy or the banal.
We enjoy getting to hang out with our friends and cook, converse, etc...all of that sort of thing. When we're by ourselves, my wife will attest to the fact that I am a one-man social breaching experiment (especially after 9:00pm).

So the short of it is that we are a very energetic and fun young couple that would love to have you surf our couch or come surf yours in return.

PHILOSOPHY

My wife and I are humanists. We believe in the plan that God has for us all and we are all about living our lives as such.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

we surf...we host...

We're getting into this a bit more now that we are kind of settled, but as we live in Phoenix, there's not a huge influx of people that come here unless it's for a sports game.
Those CSers that we do get, we usually treat to a home-cooked breakfast and then take to the top of Camelback Mt early in the morning for a fantastic view of the East Valley.

兴趣

outdoor stuff! We usually spend our summers volunteering at church camps. In our "spare time" (haha...) we go rock climbing down on Mt. Lemmon with Jacqueline's family, hiking in the greater Phoenix area, finding great coffee shops to cycle to, or camping with friends. We are both full of energy and enjoy doing most things exciting.
