I'm an energetic pessimist with a lust for life. I love talking about​ life, philosophy, or whatever new thing I happen to be studying.
I love hearing new ideas, picking up a new skill, and experiencing all life has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new and fun people, I want to host people that need a place to stay, and I want to see the world.

Interests

I take deep pleasure in sharing my interests with others. Everything I do, I try to do with passion.
I love going to the theater for whatever new production is available, I love acting, dancing, and singing a good song.
Adult beverages are a passion. I study everything I can find on the subject and imbibe liberally. I love to mix a fancy drink, or open a bottle of exciting wine, on a warm summer day there is nothing more quenching than a cold beer.
The world was made for our viewing pleasure and I think it is a sin not to appreciate it's beauty. I will often set out on a long hike with my beautiful wife, and my cute little fluff ball of a dog to do just that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a week camping in the jungles of Halmahera Indonesia with a medical team so we could visit remote villages and provide some basic medical care. My wife and I were the only ones who spoke any English. It was super fun to try and get around without using language! Next time, I'm taking some Bahasa lessons.
