I'm a laid back, down to earth kind of guy. I play tennis and basketball and enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and camping. Avid reader and I enjoy writing

I have a degree in philosophy from the University of Richmond (2012) and worked as a garden teacher in Richmond public schools post-graduation. I started school again at Virginia tech in 2015 and will be finishing up this May

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
