I am a 28 year old software developer and an avid triathlete. Currently working at General Motors Finance and loving it. On the weekends I am a skydiving instructor and general adrenaline junkie with a fondness for sunshine and beer.

If you are trying to crash a place the same day or less than 3 days out don't bother requesting from me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a fan of living rough while traveling and going off the beaten path. Also to interact with people I otherwise would not.

Interests

I read a lot and love literature and all around good stories. I am an avid triathlete and I like any outdoors physical activity. I'm a skydiving instructor on the weekends.

I homebrew a lot too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many of all three categories to mention, but if I had to say anything I would say that I am a fan of heavy metal, classic literature and old films, especially westerns.

Book: Don Quixote (I read it once a year)
Film: Oldboy
Music: AC/DC (nothing quite captures of the spirit of rock like AC/DC)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first BASE jump off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite fluent in Arabic and I have a plethora of experiences in that region to share with anyone who wishes to listen.

I can teach you how to properly pack a skydiving parachute, brew beer or make cider (super easy and delicious), repair a bicycle, speak/read a little Arabic. Write some code, and I can cook a ton of different things. I make a lot of excellent dishes using a crockpot but am not limited to anything in particular. Lazy cooking is merely my preferred method of making things.
