"We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." - Bukowski

I am currently working for a startup growing American football in Europe and living in Brussels.

I firmly believe that relationships are the foundation of happiness and life in general. The best things in life aren't "things"; they are the rich, novel experiences that you share with people you make a strong connection with.

I live my life trying to minimize regret as much as possible, while keeping expectations low. I love to have fun, meet new people, and try new things. I am open minded and believe that everyone knows something that you don't, it's up to you to learn from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to experience each city and country from a local's perspective, not that of a canned tourist. With that in mind, I want to build relationships with interesting people and give back to the Couchsurfing community when I settle down in a city.

Interests

I love to write, read, play bass guitar, play and watch sports, eat and cook, travel, challenge myself to grow, and overall spend time with amazing people.
