I love to travel and have spent a few years of my life either living abroad or backpacking solo.

Cincinnati is now my home and has been a pleasant surprise having moved here from NYC!

My guilty pleasure is reality tv…can you guess which show I was on? (Spoiler alert if you keep reading my profile 🏝🥥.)

I love speakeasy bars and have a couple of those and other fun bars and restaurants near my place!

I work for a big company in town and help them with innovation and strategy…I really love what I do!

As a side note, I do have two beautiful daughters ages 7 and 8 (I’m a divorced single dad and have them 50% of the time). I never host when they’re with me, though upon request you can have your bed made with Disney princess sheets 😆

Lastly, I’m straight (and single) but am absolutely an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and welcome anyone with great stories to share my home if it’s available.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After years of backpacking, I now want to pay it forward by allowing other travelers a place.
