CURRENT MISSION

Conquer mountains and grow in self discipline

ABOUT ME

I'm a graphic designer and musician (I play the fiddle). I love reading, sketching, making things, and listening to and playing good music. I was homeschooled through high school and then I attended North Carolina State University where I earned an bachelor of graphic design. I'm a fairly quite person but I'm easy to get along with and can crack some pretty good jokes once I get warmed up!

PHILOSOPHY

All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the spirits.

Fear God more and fear people less. Need people less and love them more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In between my junior and senior year at college I traveled through Europe where I couch surfed with a few people. I enjoyed it and I hope to do it again.

Interests

Design, drawing, colors, typography, creativity, music, playing the violin, long-boarding, astronomy, exploring, history, philosophy, climbing trees, conquering mountains, riding things with wheels off ramps, and sprinting as fast as I can until I feel like I'm gonna explode.
