I'm from a small town in north central Indiana. I owned and operated a restaurant with my wife for around 5 years. We closed the restaurant and decided to move across the country to Troutdale, OR at the end of January 2020. Hoping to expand travel due to now being unencumbered from the small business owner lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the next few months, maybe year, I will be making a few trips from Indiana to Portland, OR to gradually move all of our stuff to our new home. I'm hoping to use couch surfing as a way to meet some people and hear some stories that I would otherwise never have had the chance.

Interests

I like to be active outdoors. I try to eat and be healthy, but ice cream is delicious.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the key to making the world a better place is to get to know more people in the world and understand their story.

I don't take up much room, I've got some funny/intense stories, and I'm a great listener.
