Pattie and I live in beautiful Southeast Minnesota. We love to cook and ride bike. We have a 10 acre farm in the valley surrounded by a hardwood forest. We both grew up in Texas and moved to Minnesota 8 years ago. We are still Texan's at heart even though we don't live there. We have six kids that are amazing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We believe that travel shouldn't be a break-the-bank experience. Everyone should get out and see the great land that we live in, experience culture and food and people and make friends that will create a lifetime of memories!

Our favorite music is, well, music! We like a good action movie or chick flick and always a great documentary.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not that it can be limited to one, actually there are six! Well actually seven. We got married and had six amazing kids. Boring, you say? You obviously haven't been around our house.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to teach cooking and share food. You can really get to know someone when you break bread with them!
