CURRENT MISSION

To live life without regrets

ABOUT ME

I'm an audit associate at a Big 4 accounting firm in downtown Chicago. I travel quite a bit for work, but never get much time to really see the cities that I'm in. I grew up in a small rural town in Wisconsin and went to school in Madison. I love listening to music and going to concerts. I like spending time outdoors doing such things as biking and playing disc golf but I also enjoy staying in watching movies. Most of my life is pretty organized but I also like taking risks and making impulse decisions when the moment strikes.

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS but I'm looking forward to hosting and surfing alike.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CS but I've done some couch surfing in my days. My experiences have mostly consisted of crashing at friends' places when I come through town but I'm looking forward to making new friends in new places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most amazing thing I've done so far has been my trip to Costa Rica, specifically zip lining through the rain forest

Teach, Learn, Share

I could TEACH you how to play disc golf or how to do some wicked accounting stuff.

I would love to LEARN anything interesting that you are willing to teach.

I could SHARE the my great city, some tasty food, interesting stories, a pitcher of beer, and my couch among other things.
