CURRENT MISSION

I like when people do what they want to do, usually. I am from Providence, RI but now I live outside Des Moines, Iowa. My wife, Allie and I own a small interior painting/design company, and Allie has a really cool house plant store in Des Moines. We recently sold the house we had been renovating for 7 years and now live in an old high school about 40 minutes west of Des Moines! It is big and crazy and we love to have guests. We work a lot but try to make time for life and other stuff too. If you want to stay with us, it is helpful if you have a car. If you don't there is a good chance one of us can give you a ride to/from Des Moines if it works with our schedules. I also run a private skatepark, if you skate.

ABOUT ME

Down for whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

Try not to plan too hard.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I host anytime I am able, and really enjoy surfing anywhere I go to meet new people and see the town/city I am staying in with some local knowledge.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed. Though I normally don't like the general population, there is something great about the general population of CouchSurfers. I have enjoyed my time with every couchsurfer I have met. They slowly restore my faith in mankind, and I hope to meet many more.
