Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Met a cool French guy a while back who was traveling across the USA using this site, and gave him a ride from Knoxville to Crossville. That's how I found the site.

I live downtown, right in the center of the action! I can show guests around the best restaurants and places to go, and I also know the mountains and hiking trails in the area.
My Interests
I enjoy computers, reading, playing ultimate frisbee, working out, hiking, watching the Vols, and hanging out with friends and family!
