About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living Life to the fullest extreme at times

PHILOSOPHY

Not smart enough to know what to believe in because all to often I know too much for my own good because the more you know the more you know you don't know. It's why in reality I must be dumb.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Been traveling the world for business as well as solo cross country motorcycling for 40+ years for pleasure as well as business and find that the best parts of my many travels though out the world has been in meeting so many locals on my way through because:

The more you know, the more you know you don't know and it's a wonderful thing when you learn something new and interesting and or useful.

Interests

Interesting people, Interesting places, Non-Fiction books, Camping, visiting and learning about my business (Private Ground Transportation operations - Taxis, Car Services, Limousines, Shuttle & Bus Services) through out the world.

  • books
  • running
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Non-Fiction as the truth is often much stranger and interesting than fiction. Biography's, Prsidents, Tyrants, Kings & Queens, Emporers, Generals, interesting people, History, Science, the study of Insects, Motorcycles. Stuck in the 60's/70's with the Doors, Led Zep,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a Cross country motorcycle benefit run for the Wounded Warriors Project where I generated $12,000 in donations touring 48 US States and 2 Canadian provinces in a 3 weeks period. One (not the only one) of the amazing happenings during that had me emotional enough to draw tears happened while riding through a remote part of West Virginia when a local worker walked up to me while I was gassing up and pointed to the sign on my trailer that announced the benefit run I was on for the Wounded Warrior Project a local worker handed me what looked like $1. As the local walked away from me I moved my thumb and noticed 2 more Zero's after the 1. So I ran after the local to check to make sure he knew he gave me $100 and not a $1 donation when all he said to me was "Gett'er Done is all I ask, Just Gett'er Done!" and drove away.

Teach, Learn, Share

The more you know the more you know you don't know.
Generalizations are not fact's that apply to all individuals.
Always "READ BETWEEN THE LINES".
Always question!
Almost nothing is absolute.
Almost everything cycles, the good, the bad and everything in between.
If you know your absolutely right you very well might be absolutely wrong.
People are People no matter where you go, there still people, look beyond your own prejudice.
Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen.............
