CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to provide the best education possible, and make that education accessible to as many people as possible.

ABOUT ME

I am quite friendly and accomodating! I like seeing other people happy. I really like learning about....pretty much everything. I really enjoy adventure and getting into trouble for the sake of a good story. I'm a tall, goofy dude who is often described as a teddy bear. I've been told I'm initially intimidating, but it always wears off. I like to live large, entertain, and be entertained.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a Nietzsche kind of guy, but I'm a huuuuge optimist. I like smiling, and I think its almost always a good idea to be as nice to people as you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I let homies crash at my pad, yo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed across the United States and Canada for about 9 weeks, staying only with friends in about 20 different cities.

I've hosted 50 people and counting, male and female, from all over the world (France, U.S., Germany, South Korea, Finland, England, Australia, Japan). I hosted in Brooklyn and am now opening up my house in St. Louis.

Music, Movies, and Books

All of it! I've got a selection of 100-200 records at my place, pick one out as soon as you get here!

Also, I have a bookshelf full of novels and reference books. Just ask and you can take one with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked throughout Europe for 3 months by myself, and then came back to the U.S. and took a 6 week, 10,000 mile roadtrip with my good friend Joel. Best year of my life.

I have an encyclopedia of unbelievable, intoxicated, and otherwise incredible stories to tell. I love to tell them, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak a few languages and would love to converse in them. I also got bachelors degrees in Math, French, and Philosophy, and now my masters in forensic linguistics. I have a great memory and I am an information sponge. I am an avid scrabble player, but no one lets me play trivial pursuit with them.

I would love to learn about anything you can teach me. Seriously, mechanics, fashion, dance, guitar. I'd love to learn it all.
