Born and raised in Texas, I decided to move to Japan in 2013. During my stay, I met my wife, Mizuki.

The two of us are easy-going, albeit a bit quiet when first meeting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people! Culture is nothing without the people who create it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Lately, I've been listening to Benjamin Booker, Frank Turner, and The Fall of Troy.

Movies: Favorite movie is The Fifth Element! I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to movies.

Books: I've been reading Fluent Forever, Guns, Germs and Steel, and How Not to be Wrong.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting my wife in Japan! And of course, meeting all of great people who live in Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Stories are great! If you have some, I'd love to listen! And then do my best to translate for my wife!! (She's more or less just started studying English).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I suppose I'm a guest who can manage on my own, but would also be more than happy to be shown around your favorite places.
