In process of getting new place and stoked to start accepting guests! :)
Ohh boy... another "about me" summary. Small city blue collared kid who realized I could leave my couch and TV seeing the world to... SEEING the WORLD. I run a lot, workout way too much, enjoy way too many pale ales and recently became an Italian wine snob.

I have somehow survived 6 months in Amsterdam, 4 years in SE Asia, 2 months in Vegas, 6 months in Montana and Wyoming, a week in Sturgis, South Dakota and 4 years in LA and the adventures that came with. From crossing illegal borders in Asia to running a Music Festival of mass proportion, I'm alive. Red carpets in Hollywood and outhouses in Durango... still kickin!

I'm a recovering distance runner and have been lucky enough to qualify and race in the front of the world major marathons.. Berlin, NYC, LA, NYC and Boston to name a few. I can still run way too far and fast.. kinda weird actually as I'll be 40 in 6 months.

Anywho......say hello.... or host me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause some of the best times in life ended up on a couch!...lol.... I mean sleeping on one!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode Elephants bareback in Thailand

Teach, Learn, Share

I play piano and will actually have my digital Yamaha on my cargo carrier. If you like Coldplay or Adele.. I'll have some killer riffs to share. I do speak Thai rather well and if you want to learn how to order #23 off your local Thai menu, I'm your guy... (really freaks them out when you know their language).

I suppose if you can swing some core and plyo-metrics or a 5 mile run up tempo, I can up your fitness game hardcore!! :)
