Born and raised in northern Wisconsin, I am a gearhead and a fan of homebrewing beer and winemaking. Oh and I like to annoy my wife's cats on a regular basis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My family and I are planning a relocation to Phoenix in June. Since I may be working down there sooner than our move date, I need a place to crash.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't read a ton since dyslexia tends to make the process obnoxiously slow. I'm into a lot of movies and still hang on to my VHS favorites, believe it or not. Metal and rock music/stations are for me, but I'll deal with most kinds of music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raised my yellow lab, Lucky to the ripe old age of 17.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How to fix your own car (within reason.)

Learn: What there is to do around Phoenix and travel ideas.

Share: What it's like to live/work away from your family and how to make it work.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you how to fix your car, within reason. The things I can't do I either don't have tools for or the knowledge of (things that need a electronic scanner.) I'm pretty handy around our house, except I don't deal with plumbing and more complicated electricity work.

Countries I’ve Visited
