I have lived just outside of Milwaukee, WI, USA for the last 26 years. Prior to that, i grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a high school math teacher and I coach volleyball (both varsity and Jr. Olympic volleyball). I am married to Diane, and have three sons. The oldest just graduated for the university and my second is graduating from high school. My youngest is 11.
I have enjoyed traveling around the world, and love meeting people.
I am a very friendly person. I am kind and respectful, and look forward to meeting my new friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just heard about Couchsurfing and I think it sounds amazing. The opportunity to stay in someones home and see what a different culture is like first hand sounds amazing! As I have traveled around the world, some of my favorite moments have been with the people rather than the places. I thought this was the best idea ever!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love watching movies! Some of my favorites are the Star Wars movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (like Captain America and the Avengers).
I like 80's rock groups like Van Halen and Aerosmith.
My favorite author is Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series) and Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time series)
I am eclectic in that I like many types of movies, music and books. However, I do not like any type of horror movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been blessed to have been able to do so many things! I have been to 19 countries. I have been to 42 of the 50 United States. I own a volleyball club that has over 100 athletes. I have an amazing wife and 3 sons. I could go on and on, but I can not pick just one! I am truly blest!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn about my hosts culture and lives as well as share mine with them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so perhaps I could learn how to cook a local dish, or I could cook for my host and their family. I love to play volleyball, but I love other sports, also. I do not know if other countries play board games, but I enjoy that, too.
