Non-profit exec for a short while longer, transitioning into full time printmaker/farmer/chef/political consultant. I live with my partner, Amy, on a farm in Lost Creek, WV. We're currently in the middle of fixing up an old farmhouse, while growing food and possibly getting a mobile kitchen up and going. Kind of a nutso project, really.

Lost Creek isn't close to a city you'd really want to visit, and we're a couple hours from some of West Virginia's incredible outdoor attractions. We're good for guests who just want to get away from the city for a while, or are passing through on Interstate 79 -- we're only about 10 minutes from the highway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Try to be the hosts we might want to encounter on our travels. Our home, our city, our people, all in the mix. We live in a pretty cool place, so when folks come stay with us, we try to make their visit memorable. I guess that's what we're looking for in hosts as well.

You don't have to help out on the farm, but there'll certainly be some projects going on, if you feel like lending a hand. Get your hands dirty. It's fun!

Want to come for dinner? I hope so. Also, you can use our sauna.
