My wife and I live in an old Victorian house in the Brighton Heights area of the city of Pittsburgh. We purchased it in the fall of 2013, so we have a long way to go in updating the house, but it is warm and comfortable. We have a guest room on the third floor and a shared bathroom on the second. We have a dog, three cats and five chickens. Cats and dog inside, chickens outside.

We live on two bus lines that can get you into the city center in about 20 minutes and the Historic North Side in about 10.

I am a priest in the Episcopal Church and I enjoy people. Contact me if you are interested in staying with us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of a free place to stay and hosting others helps me to meet and interact with new people from all over the world.

Interests

The world and the people in it.

Serious board games and RPG video games.

Movies and a good book.

Most importantly though...cheese fries.
