CURRENT MISSION

To explore ideas in order to understand their results.

ABOUT ME

I have gone back to school to understand the positive influence that design can have on our everyday lives. I really enjoy it! I was basically a ski bum most of my twenties and am completely satisfied with that decision and experience. I still have the excitement I did during those times but it has changed its direction. I have a wonderful girlfriend of four years.

PHILOSOPHY

Absorption is living. Learning, meeting new people, having new experiences all feed life. Production is only leaving an impression.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just starting out, but am exploring what CS has to offer. I would like to learn about new places by meeting and making friends in those places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have never had a CS experience yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I watched my VW Bus be completely engulfed in flames along the side of the road when I was about 22 years old.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would enjoy teaching someone how to spey cast again. It has been a while since I have been on the river consistently teaching this wonderful art. If asked I would share my thoughts on the importance of how architecture itself can teach and enhance our lives. Someday when I have time, I would love to learn to play guitar and piano.
