CURRENT MISSION

To meet people in every city I visit and build an eclectic, reliable network

ABOUT ME

I'm goofy, tall, dark and somewhat handsome. I'm a very open person that likes to talk about anything and do almost anything.

I run my own company, which is young (can't pay the bills yet), so now I'm also looking for a career in the meantime. I just moved back down to Portland, temporarily, where my family lives. I may try out San Diego for a little bit, and then maybe somewhere like Austin, TX. Not sure yet. I'm young.

Anyway, I think I'm cool, and I'm pretty sure my Mom would agree with that.

PHILOSOPHY

I try and "live" a little every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Anyone who is looking for someone to kick it with when they are in my city, can contact me. I am striving to make "couchsurfing" more than just staying on someone's couch, but a reliable place to form a global network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no "formal" couch surfing experience, except for letting my homeless, nomad of a friend, Brian Byrd crash on my couch whenever he's in Seattle. Thanks to him, I can't use my sleeping bag anymore...he slept naked in it.
