CURRENT MISSION

The world is a book and I want to see as many pages as possible

ABOUT ME

My wife and I currently live in Ames and I am a high school teacher and she is a vet student at iowa State. I like to run, bike, hike, surf, and boat. I grew up in northwest Iowa and am just a kid from the Midwest that likes to travel and see as much of the world as possible. I have been to Australia, Panama, and Germany. I have also traveled all over the U.S. I am pretty easy going and smile a lot. I consider myself to be a hard-worker yet knows how to have fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to be a positive impact on society. I hope one day I may be a teacher and influence the lives of many students. My parents played a huge role in raising me to become who I am today. I feel you should always try your best in life because sometimes you don't get second chances.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I have ran the Des Moines marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon and rode my bike across the state of Iowa several times on RAGBRAI. I have been to Australia, Panama, Germany, and all over the U.S.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love the idea of couch surfing. I have had so many good experiences with people I have met throughout my life and this is just another way for a network of friends to expand. I would be more than glad to teach anyone interested in things I know how to do and at the same time enjoy learning from others.
