CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn at least one thing about every culture that I meet in my travels.

ABOUT ME

I'm from Toledo originally and I currently live in Columbus, Ohio and I work in Histology at a local medical group.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness is a way of travel, not a destination."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have recently come to a point in my life where I can finally open my couch to fellow surfers. Let me know, and I might be able to show you around at nights and on the weekend as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had nothing but positive experiences while utilizing this website. In fact, some of the most humbling and eye-opening experiences that I can list in my life, have been through meeting amazing hosts and sharing in their culture.

Interests

Photography, traveling, soccer, Frisbee golf

I used to be a stage actor living in New York City. I was also a Japanese lounge singer on the cruise ship Asuka II out of Tokyo. I didn't speak any Japanese when I got the gig, but I managed to make it work, haha.
