I'm a laid back business consultant and software engineer from Seattle who loves to snowboard, ride motorcycles, and travel the world. I'm always trying to learn new things and meet new people when I get the chance.

In 2023 I moved back to the Seattle area after about ten years away, living in Vancouver, Canada, Melbourne, Australia, and Cleveland, Ohio for a few years doing all kinds of things. I’ve worked remotely and traveled the world as a consultant for a while. A lot of people I've met traveling think you can have a "real job" OR you can travel, but not both. I disagree. I used to do it so I know it can be done. And I love helping fellow travelers chase that goal!

Now, that I’m not a broke traveler anymore, I love to give back. When I moved to Seattle, I bought a truck and a bunch of toys like bikes, paddle boards, etc., to get out and enjoy the outdoors. I love to meet people and give back to the travel community that gave me so many incredible experiences when I did a bit more traveling then I do now. So if you need a place to crash and want to do some adventuring, shoot me a note and let’s see if it works out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because travelers are some of the most fun and interesting people! In the past, I have definitely been a broke traveler just trying to meet some locals and have a good time. Now that I'm taking a break from travel and have space, I want to give back to the awesome couchsurfing community!

Interests

I get bored very easily so I always have to be doing new things that get the adrenaline going. I love to travel, meet new people, snowboard, ride motocross, mountain bike, surf, hike, fish, go shooting, bungee jump, or pretty much anything else active or extreme! I also play a bit of piano and guitar, like to cook, and try to stay involved in the entrepreneur scene as much as I can. Though, hanging out at the beach with some good friends and good beer is also one of my regular activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I'm into depends on what I'm doing. I read books but they're usually the boring kind about how to make money so I can support all my expensive habits and avoid getting a real job :)

Favorite books:
The Alchemist
The 4 Hour Workweek
The Happiness of Pursuit

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once cooked minute rice in 58 seconds.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fund your travels through working remotely and building income streams online or through real estate.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't couch surf because I can't afford not to, I just like meeting awesome people, so I'm always happy to buy dinner/drinks and swap travel stories! I can also share plenty of knowledge about business, working remotely, or tips on all the cool places I've been.
