CURRENT MISSION

Finishing Strong

ABOUT ME

I spent my college years in Israel, I'm a lieutenant in the Guard, and am a history teacher by trade. Ultimately I'm just a guy from Texas who's trying to get as much out of life as possible. I love traveling, reading, and experiencing new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Be patient and understanding, everything else will fall into place after that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm recently married, and living on an Army base, so unfortunatly I won't be hosting any time soon. My roommates and I did some hosting in college and we put on a barbecue for the local CS community. It was awesome getting to meet some other surfers and trade stories and experiences. I hope to attend more functions in the future.

Interests

All sorts of movies, books, people, and music. I love playing guitar, ukulele, and jamming with weird instruments as much as I love history and politics, old maps, useful procrastination, anything to do with languages, philosophy, world religions, cultures, and the like.
