About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a new apartment in the Denver area,

ABOUT ME

I want to be a test chef at America's Test Kitchen.

If that doesn't work out, I will open a brewery and employ my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I've always done my best to be true to myself and fair to others. Never trade in all your dreams for a job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and surfed in the past, all great experiences. Currently my couch is unavailable...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did a short stay with some really cool dudes down in Kentucky. This was my first surf and had a really positive experience, so I'm looking forward to doing some more traveling around and doing some hosting myself once I settle down.

Interests

Homebrewing beer, playing and enjoying music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like EDM, metal and most all music. Going to shows have made some of my favorite memories for so many reasons... Weezer, Mastodon, Skrillex, it's all about feeling alive.

Hiking at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky.

The hot springs of Buena Vista, CO.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a chef and baker by trade, so if anyone stays with me and wants to learn about either of those I would be happy to teach. Actually, I worked as an assistant instructor at a cooking school when I was in college and I love to teach others what I know.

Also, if you're interested in the beer brewing process, we can brew up a batch of your choice!
