Hi, I'm a mechanical engineer and avid traveller from St. Louis, MO.

I've travelled all around the world using couchsurfing and love the concept in its entirety.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet new people and avoid drunk college kids while travelling, not that I don't enjoy a beer or two tho.

Now that i'm back in the states, I can return the favor and host :)

Interests

I have more hobbies than I know what to do with, but recently I've been focusing on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

I'm also into tinkering and have done construction work, so I can pretty much fix anything broken in your place.

• cooking
• video games
• guitar
• tennis
• tinkering
• weightlifting
• brazilian jiu jitsu

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought, fixed, and drove a $300 car in college. AC worked too!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some basic BJJ or how to make a good carbonara.

I'd like to practice a language you know or just chat and learn about whatever you feel like sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm extremely tidy and respectful of others and their property. I will leave your property cleaner than I came, and maybe with that squeaky door or leaky faucet fixed as well.
