About Me

***(CAPACITY FULL FOR MONTH OF JANUARY 2016)***

CURRENT MISSION

To dazzle gradually. .

ABOUT ME

Lets chat over a cup of tea.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is either feared by the near-sighted, embraced by the diligent, or onset by the innovative. Love is not only perpetual but inexhaustible and exponential. I believe in abundant life to the full for all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just moved to Indianapolis and married Amanda, my best friend. We love being hosts. We are romantics looking for interesting people that are on a passionate mission or a daring adventure. Come stay with us and share your story.

”We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - W.Churchill

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been blessed to meet so many wonderful kinds of people while traveling. The Couch Surfing experiment allows me to continue doing this from the comfort of my own home. When hosting others you only have a short time to make a lasting impression. This keeps me on my toes and always asking questions. I LOVE it!

Interests

I am constantly analyzing big concepts, and imagining new ways of solving problems and investing in creativity. I am learning how to be a homeowner and a husband. My favorite activities are running the dog, frisbee, paintball, finger joisting, and piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once blessed by a shaman, a priest, a clergy, a rabbi, and a Imam all in the same day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about your skills, your passions, and desires. Lets solve problems and strategize together. I'm always down for learning something new.
