I live with my girlfriend, Missy. Who I reconnected with whilst hiking part of the Appalachian Trail. We are both from West Virginia, and moved to California for Missy's job.
When I was 21, lived and worked in Yosemite and worked in many National Parks afterwards. I have been bouncing around the country since then. Yosemite rekindled my love for the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend and I recently moved to Yucca Valley, CA five miles from Joshua Tree N.P. We have wanted to be a part of Couch Surfers for a long time, and we finally have an apartment big enough to host guests. We love to travel and would like to be able to help the traveling community.
