About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seizing as Many Opportunities in Life as Possible

ABOUT ME

I try to live life by the motto "You Only Live Once: Carpe Diem."

I love to....
-laugh...who doesn't I suppose??
-meet new people and gain experiences and insights from them...also share mine.
-find new friends from all over the world.
-explore.

I have a myriad of goals & plans. Currently, I'm exploring the beauty of southern California and plan to stay there for a while after having grown up in the Midwest.

I've been traveling as much as possible (Australia, Argentina, England, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, throughout the states). I very much enjoy my jobs - starting up a brewery / distillery in Southern California.

The people that work with me know me as someone who busts his ass and is also a bit of a comedian. Gotta keep things light sometimes, right??

PHILOSOPHY

Take as many shots as you can. Live life to the fullest. Spend your time surrounded with funny, interesting, and intelligent people who care.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm traveling quite a bit so am unable to host. Once I get settled a bit more, I would love to host some surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had nothing but awesome experiences on here. One of my very close friends tried couch surfing and loved it, so I figured I'd give it a shot!

Interests

I LOVE traveling, being outside, sky diving, surfing, partying, roller coasters, racing, frisbee golf, bags, grilling, trying new beers / wines, hot tubbing, skiing, snowboarding, kickboxing, hiking.
