The idea of exploring other lands, peoples, and cultures has been exciting to me for a very long time, but I'm only now really beginning to travel.

My work revolves around bringing together nonprofits and for-profit companies to solve important social problems. I believe that when organized properly, there is nothing more powerful than community.

I'm a pretty mellow person, though I definitely enjoy cutting loose and going on adventures. I enjoy playing guitar, eating & drinking & talking, hiking, boating, and lots of other fun things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to expand my community, and meet people from around the world who can help me do that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped the oldest refugee agency in the world reimagine and improve an already-successful pilot program that uses the power of community to resettle refugees and help them build the life they deserve.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to visit your local market, cook a meal together, and talk about how we grew up and why that made us who we are.
