CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life in Manhattan Beach, California.

ABOUT ME

Athletic guy that enjoys to be outdoors. Went to Miami (OH) for college, small college town in Oxford. My junior year, I picked up and left for Australia. Went by myself, through a study abroad program, and loved it. Bartended to make money and traveled the country.

Outgoing, energetic, guy that likes to meet new people.

Spend every fall traveling to different NFL cities. I work on the broadcast for NFL and USGA Golf. Great job that allows me to travel most of the United States.

Just recently made it back to London & Paris for the first time since I traveled there after college was over. My girlfriend Liz & I had a great time running around both cities.

We also made it to Peru last year to visit Machu Picchu, Cuzco, & Lima. It was an amazing experience.

Spent May traveling through Europe and had a blast.

I have been living in California since this summer. I drove across the country to start a new job at FOX Sports. My place is about a mile from the beach

PHILOSOPHY

Kharma... too many examples in my life have turned me into a firm believer.

Treat people with respect and enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to meet people whenever I can through couch surfing, this website saved my first Europe trip, open to hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fell into couch surfing by accident. Met some people traveling that were staying with a couch surfing host. I ended up hanging out with them, and stayed at the hosts house as well.

Good experience

Great experience in Munich Germany for the Champions League Finals with three other friends I was traveling with for a month

Interests

Work for a sports company and was an athlete growing up. Played all team sports. Trying to figure out what my next hobby will be. I have played golf all my life, but I am also looking into kayaking, rowing etc.

I like to go out and meet new people. Normally try a local beer where ever my feet land.

Love to grill out and make good food. Give me a glass of red and a steak... and I'm in a good place.

I play in an old man softball league. Also love playing sand volleyball.

I like anything on water and in the mountains. Like to water and snow ski. Tried to pick up surfing in AUZ but I'm no good at it.

Strive to start my own business someday. Some ideas are on the back burner.

...and obviously love to travel
