About Me

I'm on Couch Surfing to hopefully get to meet some cool people, share stories, adventures, and whatever I can with the people that I meet. Definitely don't limit the things I like to my interests category. I love trying new things and would be down to explore see whatever can be seen!

I've been married for about 10 years and with my wife for nearly 16yrs. I've got three beautiful boys, an 8yr old, a 5 year old, and a 1 year old. My 8 year old is an introvert in love with super heroes who has a penchant for trying to hide and scare me (he's moderately successful=). My 5 year old is uber gregarious, he was born with down syndrome and rambunctious doesn't describe the half of it. We are still in the foster part of the foster-to-adopt process with my 1 year old. He's been with us since he was 2 months old and he should be walking soon!

I'm an open book, please feel free to shoot me a message and ask me any questions that you have.
