CURRENT MISSION

Meet cool Seattleites.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Nebraska kid who likes to read and write, hike and bike, and lull people into good conversation with pitchers of cheap domestic beer. Once I figure out what makes you laugh, I'll make you laugh.

I'm moving to Seattle next month (August) on a whim. Please help prove the PNW is just as hospitable as the midwest is supposed to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't be a dick. Don't be a flake. You keep your promises or you stop making them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm looking for a place to stay the last week of August. I'll be in town to find a permanent place for me and my buddy I'm moving to Seattle with. Once that's done, I'd like to open my doors for people to stay, provided we have the space.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never done this before. I'm a little anxious.

Interests

Writing, reading, reading about writing, tabletop RPGs, video games, hiking, web design (I'm a novice), and learning new skills, whether that be carpentry, tailoring, bicycle maintenance, I'm down to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran a 4:50 mile. Walked down a mountain with a broken back. Cleared so many lines in Tetris, the game stopped counting at 999 lines.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can write well. I have a bit of skill at web design.
