ABOUT ME

"Go West young man!" they said, "Go West." So that is what I am doing. I love mountains and the adventure that the West offers. Having just graduated from Ohio State, I am looking for a job out West and plan on moving either to Colorado or California soon.

PHILOSOPHY

I never let a day go by that I do not learn something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never done this before. But it sounds like a great idea.

Interests

A voracious reader, I love to read everything from biographical tomes to history books to philosophy. Currently, I am reading "Atlas Shrugged." I am an outdoorsman and an avid backpacker, skier and flyfisherman. I just graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in developmental economics and I would like to move west.
