ABOUT ME

I grew up in the NYC suburbs and, after a year in St. Louis following college, I lived in New Hampshire for six years and now Washington DC. I source meat and seafood for my clients, allowing me to travel to fisheries, docks, lots, etc. in the name of finding the freshest, cleanest and tastiest food for our chefs. Happiest outside doing all adventure sports, usually in the company of my loyal Australian Shepherd, and when left inside I'm usually found in the kitchen crafting a meal with good wine and beer - and gin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not so much these days, but I have surfed a lot in the past with the highlight being during a backpacking trip through Europe where I stayed with a number of hosts throughout, they were all great experiences! Here in the states I have stayed with hosts typically during long road trips.

I have hosted a few times and met travelers out for drinks when there were conflicts.
