ABOUT ME

Why is there a big red cross on my picture? I have chosen to reject the verification process. I believe verification is a misuse of cash and creates a false sense of security. I prefer to accept people for who they are, not by the size of there wallets, not by the little flag, not by the rules that CS "supports". Why? I invite you to explore the support The OpenCouchSurfing Campaign for more information. I also invite you to explore where verification money goes and how it is spent. So-called "verification" donations totaled almost $780'000 in 2008.

I am a 23 year old Computer geek. I once embraced the love for body modification but now just do it for personal strength. I am an outgoing individual who loves to spend time with people from all cultures. I make no judgment on race, religion, sex, or sexual preference we are all human and should respect each other. I currently live outside the city in the northwest suburbs. I will not stand for liars or thieves. I love football and American football as well as hockey. I have 35 hours of tattoo work so far and do not want to stop anytime soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been on here long enough to meet some really great people. I offer a bedroom and a few couches to people who want to take the train out for some suburban fun. I love to cook Vegetarian as well as Vegan so if you want to chip in for it I will cook something up. Also I love to come to the city and participate in events that are held.

Interests

I love computers they are my lifeline to everything but when I feel that I need to disconnect from the digital world I love suspending (hanging oneself from hooks) I find it relaxing and it helps clear my mind. I do not push any of that on anyone it is a lifestyle choice and I cannot make the up for anyone. I also love to DJ and cook. If you want juggling lessons just ask!

So many to list we could talk for hours about it, message me or meet me for coffee on this one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I have done is survived a few pretty bad accidents such as riding my bike in Chicago and getting hit by a car and almost dying. Bad times for me but I will progress. I just got done traveling due to getting swine flu while in Manchester, It was upsetting that it ended my travels but I needed to come home to fully recover. But not all is bad due to that cause I am now Dj'ing several events, parties, and clubs.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lets see what I can teach surfers who stay with me. As a computer geek I am willing to offer my knowledge and guidance in almost any part of the digital experience. An avid gamer and console junkie :) Anyone for first person shooters is welcome. I can also teach beginner sign language. I'd love to learn anything I can really. And for sharing well stories can last a life time :)
