CURRENT MISSION

This summer I plan on biking across America and raising $ for my brother who was diagnosed with cancer this year. Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, home in Wisconsin. If you would like to see follow my progress or just look up the event page, search "Ride Your Heart Out 2015" on facebook, feel free to join! I'm confident that people will be friendly and outgoing, and help me along the way.

Biking, hiking, kayaking, camping, yada yada yada

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, I better get movin!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

looking for places to stay this summer while biking across the country. Also looking to making new friends or finding people that would be willing to ride segments with me and share the experience. I am not accepting guests mostly because I'll be gone!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Going to beautiful places and meeting beautiful people. I've been to the Rocky's, the Smoky's, and just returned from the Ozarks. Looking foward to seeing the Olympic National Park, the Cascade Mountains, and Glacier National park on this ride!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music(too much to summarize), but my favorite authors are kurt vonnegut, chuch palahniuk, hunter s. thompson, and jack kerouac. My favorite movies are directed by Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarentino. I also have a soft spot for old kung fu flicks, spaghetti westerns, and intense sci fi's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have floated the Wisconsin river in a canoe for 100 miles till we ended up in the Mississippi, it took us almost a week. We slept on sand bars every night under the stars, I would highly recommend it.

I have also completed the 90 mile bike race around Lake Winnebago(wisconsin's largest inland lake) the last two years, and beat my personal goal of under 6 hours, I did it in 5.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just try to keep my mouth shut and ears open as much as possible, which is easier said than done.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully we can share a beer together :)
