CURRENT MISSION

Serve others the best we can

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old and born and raised in the Middle West of America. I'm currently finishing my third year teaching middle school in Marianna Arkansas and will be heading off to Minneapolis Minnesota to begin studying law at the University of Minnesota. My soon to be wife Tessa is also a teacher, and we are very excited to embark on our new lives together.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in social justice, equality, and liberty. I hope that others will be able to recognize my personal philosophy by my actions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My fiancee and I just heard about this community through one of my friends backpacking through Europe. We are planning a trip to France and Italy this summer and thought that couch surfing would be a neat way to travel. Once we get settled in Minneapolis we hope we can open our home to others as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.

Interests

I'm interested in learning about different people and cultures. I love to study history and philosophy. I enjoy sports--espically basketball and rugby. I try to read as often as possible.
