CURRENT MISSION

To bring light and life wherever I go... and drink wine and eat chocolate.

ABOUT ME

I'm a old former science teacher/NASA educator, turned adventure therapist. I quit my job in DC and moved to Colorado to be surrounded by like minded people in a place where I could play outside whenever I want. Right now I run a small counseling practice that works with clients outdoors, climbing, hiking and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a place to stay, a tour guide around town or help navigating the outdoor scene in CO.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed my way around CO my first summer here while waiting for my lease to begin in August and made a ton of awesome friends. Now I'm all settled in charming Golden, paying the generosity I experienced forward.
