I've been a Massage therapist for about 11 years. For the last 3 and a half years I've been on dialysis which has severely limited my ability to travel. As of May 1st 2016, I got a kidney transplant and am much happier and healthier. I'm an animal lover and have 4 dogs, 6 snakes, and about 2 dozen rats (about 5 of which are pets). I am engaged to my long term girl (of about 13 years) although there is no wedding date in sight ATM. I'm not accepting guests due to there being no space to put you up in my small apartment. We are house hunting, though, and will probably be accepting guests after we move. My long term friend and business partner Ashley Sparks is accepting guests, though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mainly travel alone for business reasons and since I'm largely broke, I need to cut costs wherever I can. When I travel with my fiance, we usually stay in hotels.
