CURRENT MISSION

Tackle another local TV market and learn to be Tampa

ABOUT ME

Hey kids! I just moved down to Tampa from the dreaded north of Wisconsin. I'm originally from the Chicago burbs and work in the fancy local television business. It's taken me from tiny town Terre Haute, IN to Milwaukee, and now to Tampa where I can hopefully someday jump back to Chicago. I write, produce, and edit news commercials all day. I always loved to write and found a gig that will pay me for it! Yay!

I also enjoy a good drink or two, countless hours in front of an Xbox, terrible karaoke, and discovering if my pale skin can handle the Florida sun.

PHILOSOPHY

I love meeting new peeps, feeding them drinks, and getting them to tell embarassing stories about themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Honestly, I suppose I only participate by bringin my bottom to your couch. I'm currently at my buddy's place but his Mom comes to town soon and I will be needing a sectional to crash on :) I move into my place in May and would love to offer a couch for crashing.

Interests

Music, video games, endless television watching, pretending I know more about craft beers than I actually do, Chicago Bears football, excessive hand holding with my wife.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

NYE Phish show in 2000 in the everglades, a Carlos Zambrano No Hitter in Milwaukee, repelling in Southern Illinois, Conan O'Brien hugged me at my TV station... I'm sure there's more. Does that make me cool yet? Probably not... but you should see all my lvl 85's on WoW. I'm way cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can BS about pretty much anything and make it funny.
