About Me

I hate talking about myself, but here it goes: I'm an easy going, educated professional, married to an awesome woman. I have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and I don't take things too seriously. I love to laugh. I enjoy conversations with old friends, and new acquaintances alike. I enjoy fixing things, helping people, riding my Vespas, and I love finding a bargain. I'm not religious, I don't smoke, and I hate politics. My philosophy of life is simple: Treat people the way that you like to be treated, and try to make the world a little better each day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing from a fellow Vespa enthusiast, when I rode my scooter from Chicago to Cincinnati for a scooter rally. Since then, I have paid it forward by hosting multiple surfers. My wife and I really enjoy the interaction with new people, and making new friends. It's been a tremendous experience so far.
