I grew up in the cornfields of the midwest outside of Chicago. When I was 21 I moved to Los Angeles to work for a non-profit called Red Eye. I lived in LA for three years before I quit my job at Blue Bottle and moved to Sydney, Australia to pursue the coffee dream (and the beach dream). After two years in Sydney I moved back to the midwest to be closer to family and learn how to roast coffee. I have spent time in Europe, the middle east, and southeast Asia working on projects and exploring the world.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling, learning about different cultures, and shooting film! I would rather use my budget on experiences than hotels.
