Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’ve travelled (hitchhiking, bicycle, motorcycle, cars, vans, trains, and all) all over the States and some across Europe for a handful of years before (surprisingly) making a home in LA. Hosting is a way for me to try and repay all the hospitality I've received when I was on the road.

Interests

I have a variety of interests and am curious about a lot of things. A good conversation goes a long way :)

• skydiving
• history

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m a father to 5 dogs and 1 kitkat, almost all strays that have adopted me over the years.

A few lifetimes ago I was an aerospace engineer. I left it to do hurricane relief for a few years on the Gulf Coast. Worked in advocacy and development nonprofits for a few years and then started my own business of designing and building custom furniture and homes.
