I was born and raised in rural Iowa, which has likely fueled my love for exploring the country. I have spent several years working in the culinary industry, followed by a career in Iowa agriculture. Along with my full time careers, I have built several side businesses primarily in the digital content and event industries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people, try new experiences, and be exposed to other cultures. My favorite part of traveling is finding the places "only the locals" know, and couch surfing seems like a great way to do that!

Interests

My interests have turned into my small businesses over the last few years. I am extremely active with photography and videography. I have also been working on a personal project the past 5+ years documenting abandoned locations around the midwest. Recently, I have became involved in the geocaching community again, and have loved the extra reason to explore small rural towns.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is a tough one for me. A large part of my livelihood was supported by the country music industry for several years while working as a content creator. With that being said, country may be a favorite, but I also love everything from old school rock to EDM.

Movies is even harder for me.. Childhood favorite was "Cheaper By The Dozen". Today, It's probably anything from the Marvel franchise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite experiences was living the touring life in 2018. I spent several weeks living full time on a tour bus, creating content at shows every night in new cities. It was an experience that not many get, and one not everybody would be fit for haha!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to help others with their photography interests! Thanks to my day job in agriculture, I'm also very mechanically inclined, and not scared of some hard labor work to help people out!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my work skills, as well as my stories!
