About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the dream

ABOUT ME

I enjoy spending time with people. I am all about meeting new positive and energetic people looking to share great experiences. My hobbies are pick up basketball, disc golf, wake boarding (just getting started), I enjoy yoga occasionally, weightlifting to stay fit, hiking, reading and writing. I have an older brother and a younger sister. They are both great! I grew up playing football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling, and in college I played varsity football. Recently, I bought a house in Charlotte, and it has been a liberating experience. I would love to travel more, and live for extended periods in different places around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Interpersonal relationships and self development/creation of self are the most important things in life. Be the best version of yourself for yourself, and then be the best version of yourself for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host, be hosted, and create meetups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My former roommate introduced me to CS. He hosted all kind of events here in Charlotte. Through these meetups I have gotten a chance to meet some great people. There seems to be something similar with the CS members that I have met, and that is that they all seem to value freedom and be passionate about their experiences or life in general.
