ABOUT ME

I'm just a laid back guy who loves to have a good time. I'm the guy my friends all call when they need help moving, want someone to listen to them, and/or grab a beer with. I loves playing/watching sports, and I'm very passionate about global health and education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I like watching movies and going to concerts with my friends and spending as much time as possible outdoors. I love playing and watching sports, and especially being on the beach. I'm a passionate college (American) football fan and will always support the Dawgs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One event in my life that is very meaningful to me was seeing the space shuttle Atlantis take-off and land in person as intern for NASA. Hearing the roar of the engines and feeling the ground shake as being the closest person the the launch and being on the runway for the landing was breathtaking.

Another major event in my life was playing basketball with Aboriginal children in the Northern Territory of Australia. I was on a study abroad trip studying health communication and global sustainability when we stopped in an aboriginal town to have dinner with the local residents. The kids were amazed at how tall I was and just wanted to watch me dunk a basketball. After we played basketball we shared kangaroo tail and other foods and it will always be a memory that I will cherish.
