So much and so little to say... I'm ostensibly a human being.

I created a community-focused ridesharing site with a few friends, and we spent all our time working on serving our traveler community.

Before that I spent many years in the US Army. It was cool and an incredible series of adventures, but my happy, creative, hippie nature just couldn't let me stay in any longer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to share, be open, and be human! I find the only things that interest me are those centered on community and joy. Couchsurfing is definitely about community and joy, so here I am, let's be friends!

Interests

I read a lot, and write (terribly) often as well. I like adventuring around, hiking, camping, traveling. Big fan of performing arts of any and all kinds- I'm as happy in the Flogging Molly mosh pit as at the Washington Ballet.

I think about the future all the time. I'm so optimistic!

Music, Movies, and Books

I list most often to indie rock, house, classic rock, jazz, hip hop, blues, symphonic. Jeez I dunno, mostly everything.

Avid reader of fiction, less so of non-fiction but I enjoy a good Teddy Roosevelt biography every so often!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm generally of little use, but happy to swap tales and offer terrible advice about most anything.

I'll teach you some intro Arabic phrases, happy to cook up some good veggie meals as well!
