I spent a year in South America and lived briefly in Brazil. Otherwise I've lived in Northeast Ohio, North Carolina, and now Colorado.

I enjoy craft beer, mountain biking, camping, hiking, reading, and writing. I work in the pharmaceutical industry.

Falo português. A minha mulher é brasileira. Ella habla español tambien. Mas eu só falo ingles e português.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I owe the universe a lot. Strangers have done so much to help me in my travels. I've seen real kindness and it's part of what keeps me from focusing on the ugly aspects of existence. Now that I've hit a phase of my life that I've become more career-focused and settled I feel obligated to give back to others in the same way.
