ABOUT ME

Jeez, I feel like I'm applying for a job. I am married, have a beautiful baby son, enjoying all things bikes, coffee, and music.

PHILOSOPHY

I work my butt off. I have passions. I love good discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Admittedly, I am new to couch surfing. I have had a lot of hosting experience. In Marquette, I have a 27' sailboat that is moored in downtown. I have had many a vagabond spend anywhere from a night to two weeks aboard. It's a difficult thing to trust a complete stranger with my property. But once I got over it, it really felt great being able to help a fellow traveler out after experiencing so much generosity during my adventures.
