I'm a 26 year old guitar builder, college professor, craftsman, engineer, designer, musician, philanthropist, philosopher, movie buff, cook, and many other things. I have a shih tzu named joey but he doesn't travel with me. Ex military (army ROTC) with an undergraduate degree in applied engineering. I built a guitar to raise money for a cure of cystic fibrosis (I also have cf) and got to meet a lot of awesome people along the way (www.facebook.com/cfguitarproject)

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've never done this before, but I'm not afraid to give it a try. My goal is to see as much of the world as I can before grad school starts in the summer. Living with cystic fibrosis can be tough, but it gives me drive to experience as much of life as I can.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music: I enjoy an eclectic collection of music but my favorites right now are Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, and the Avett Brothers.

Movies: I tend to love horror and comedy. Evil dead, zombie films, stand up routines of George carlin, bill burr, Louis ck, and others.
I don't watch much TV however, but I am big into Ted talks.

Books: war stories, non fiction, science/astronomy, design, engineering, educational stories.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I built a guitar themed after cystic fibrosis (65 roses). I obtained signatures from 65 well know celebrities to support it. I am currently in negotiations with people to auction it off. The guitar was auctioned off for $20,000 and the person who bought it plans to auction is off again for more money. All the proceeds go toward research for a cure.(Www.facebook.com/cfguitarproject)

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Teach: I love to teach. I have done so much in my life, I'm a jack of all trades, master of some. I can teach you how to play guitar or make american food the way it should be, not from McDonald's.

Learn: I love to learn just as much as I love to teach, and they go hand in hand. Im eager to experience life in other cultures and see the world we shelter ourselves from in the US.

Share: I can share with you my time and my mind.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I am good with my hands and can aid with any chores. I love trying and making all kinds of food.
