Most of my life I have worked as a frame carpenter owning my own business. Although I did a few other things like sales and factory work, working carpentry has been my main trade for 30 years.

Now I work as an online marketing specialist and a certified travel consultant. This has been a strategic move to help me live my dream of traveling the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking forward to meeting amazing people and seeing fascinating places. And with my connections as a certified travel consultant, I can share the perks of my trade with others. Some of those perks are sharp discounts on booking travel and cruises of all kinds and up 90% discounts on luxury resort accommodations.

I'm excited about meeting other people that share the same passion for world travel as me.

Interests

I love water sports like skiing and wetbikes. I enjoy playing sports more than watching. Like tennis, climbing, biking and swimming.

I also enjoy writing and have a couple of blogs as well as Web2.0 sites. I love photography and would like to get into videography.

Web design and simple development is another way I express my creativity, mostly use Wordpress and very familiar with that platform.

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as types of music, I can appreciate most genres. Of course since I grew up in the 70s and 80s and was a bit of a hippie, I like the classic rock from that era.

Some of my favorite movies are Princess Bride, Oh Brother Where Art Thou and almost anything produced by the Coen brothers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked along a secluded beach in the China Sea picking up beautiful colored rocks. I've cruised the Caribbean Ocean in opulent luxury and experienced one of the best times of my life. I've spent weeks traveling through the Philippines from the Mall of Asia in Manilla all the way up to Baguio in the high mountains. I've climbed the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and in Idaho to see the most amazing scenes in the world. I've done so many amazing things I can't just name one. And it's not over yet. God willing I will do so many more...

Was it amazing that I raise four beautiful kids, built hundreds of homes, written books, run several businesses, been around the world a few times? I don't know it just seems normal to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

It thrills me to help people start and run successful online businesses or market their existing business online. I have a professional coaching and mentoring program for doing that but when I'm friends with someone that needs help, I do all I can for them for nothing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with building projects, web design, marketing and blog development, lawn, garden, landscaping and so many different things. We just have to chat and see what I can offer...
