I was born in Germany and spent 17 years there because of my dad's work. I attended German school from Kindergarten to eighth grade and then an American DODDS High School. I graduated in 2012 and then studied for one semester at Brigham Young University. I loved my roommates and the friends I made at BYU, and the overall independent experience. I've played the guitar since I was 14 and love to create and listen to music. I play soccer. I love the outdoors and the state of Montana, especially Missoula. I recently returned from serving as a missionary in California for two years for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed the Zugspitze, the tallest mountain in Germany, in a day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to play the guitar and will probably be carrying an acoustic anywhere I go. I taught my sister how to play who is now a proficient singer-songwriter on her own. I enjoy showing people how to play a few chords, and sometimes that's all you need.
I'd like to learn from people of varied cultures and hope to share a little of mine as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts
