About Me

Born and raised in South Florida, I'm currently working in Millersville, MD as an Electrical Engineer.

I have been able to host a few times and have surfed once. I've met some awesome people through local Hangouts and traveling to events.

Three favorite highlights from my travels:
- Camping in the woods near Bear Mountain in Sitka, AK
- Celebrating New Year's Eve with the crowds on the Deutz Suspension Bridge in Cologne
- Four-wheeling and horseback riding around the Sacred Valley near Cusco, Peru

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be a part of this awesome global community as both a host and as a traveler. I want to experience different cultures, meet new friends, get out of my comfort zone, and discover all that this world has to offer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a background in manufacturing/electircal engineering, so I can teach DC and AC circuit theory and analysis, as well as programming, microprocessor applications/debugging, and any math course up until differential equations.

I weightlift frequently and can help with resistance training plans and cardio training, as well as basic bodybuilding nutrition guidelines

I also can go on and on for hours about classic rock and my music tastes, and can teach very basic guitar and ukelele.

I want to learn about other cultures and experience new ideas, all while connecting with people around the globe. Life's way too short and the world is way too big to miss out on the beauty and wonder to be found abroad.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Always down to clean dishes, mop the floor, or any other housekeeping you need.
