CURRENT MISSION

eat, sleep, laugh

ABOUT ME

I am an engineering grad student at the University of Michigan. I live on campus in a two bedroom apartment with a roommate. His name is Dreyson Byker and he is also on couch surfing. Id like to think of myself as a fairly laid back person who is willing to try new things. Whatever you are into or want to do, Im sure that we could get it done in Ann Arbor. I also wanna travel around a lot and I think this is a great way to meet people and make new friends. I would love to keep in contact with all couch surfers that I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

I just like to have fun. Ill be willing to try anything at least once. I think its important to make/keep friends. There is nothing like catching up with a good friend that you haven't talked to in a very long time. I am pretty sarcastic and realize that the better I know someone, the more I make fun of them. This isn't in a malicious way, its just to get people laughing. I make fun of myself all of the time because its funny and if you can't laugh at yourself, you shouldn't laugh at anyone else.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wanna host people at my place. I currently don't have time to travel, but when I do Id really like to stay with couchsurfers. I really just wanna meet people and be able to make friends in all parts of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had only one person stay with me, but I am still very new to this. I think he had a really good time staying with us.

Interests

Oh boy, theres a lot I can write here, but Ill try to keep the list short. And here we go: sports (both watching and playing), music (rock, alternative rock and punk mostly), movies(im a sucker for bad horror movies and anything that involves zombies), beer/beer pong (good beer. I refuse to drink natural light or anything that is only found in red solo cups), hookah (i know its bad for you, but once in a blue moon its fun to do), going out to the bars (there are very few things that are more relaxing then a couple of pitchers with good friends), watching tv (scrubs, always sunny in philidelphia, arrested development, and the office are personal favorites), frisbee, running, and stand up comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive run two marathons in my life and Im currently training for a third.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied mechanical and biomedical engineering at school, so I know a fair amount about those two. Sadly, I probably know more about sports. I can spend hours talking about sports.
