I'm a native of Knoxville, Tennessee but have lived in Denver, CO for the past year and a half. I'm a musician, aspiring pilot, avid snowboarder, and culinary enthusiast. I believe that experiences are more valuable than things. I would love to eventually begin hosting as well as surfing, but unfortunately I do not currently have a permanent residence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the value of community and the sharing of ideas and cultures, and I want to see all the world has to offer -- especially people! After a long hiatus from couchsurfing (5 years!), I'm excited to meet new folks again!
