CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to be with my sister while she has my nephew. After that I'm going to school, lunch box in hand.

ABOUT ME

I'm a former Marine. Got out at the end of August 08. Never thought the day would come. Made it through a year and a half of Japan and six months in Iraq and am now ready to grow up. Currently looking for a job in my new location: Fresno, CA.

PHILOSOPHY

As long as you're happy. (But no one can get hurt)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to be a surfer and a resident couch. I don't get to host until I have my own place though. Or a roommate who doesn't mind.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never had official couch surfing experience but I've gone from CA to VA and back again not staying in a hotel. I've also hosted numerous friends who needed a place to crash. Unfortunately I haven't ben able to host too often.

Interests

I love going out. Staying in has started to lose it's appeal to me. I love snowboarding, tubing (in all three forms), rugby, soccer, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

• electronics
• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a reader. My current favorite authors are Kesey, Palahniuk, and King. I watch movies, preferably small time ones that are really good. But you still get some strange ones. (Oldboy, a dubbed Korean movie) Music is anything I like. Current favorites are Authority Zero, Rise Against, Gogol Bordello, and Five Finger Death Punch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mt Fuji hung over, road-tripped across the US twice, been to Iraq, and more. I'll tell you stories for hours of strange/interesting things I've done. I'm not bragging. I'm just excellent at exaggerating.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot of common household tips. My parents never called a carpenter or plumber. I also know basic/intermediary electronics, and numerous strange facts.
