About Me

Just bopping around at this point. Geographic untetheredness has reached critical levels. Seriously considering the idea of "living somewhere" but paralyzed by the number of options.

UPDATE- I moved to Wisconsin. And my girlfriend loves it here. Jackpot.

We are located right on the isthmus walking distance from the Capitol & U.W.

In the meantime I split my life between sojourns abroad, running scientific field camps and airfields in Antarctica & Greenland and little trial runs in cities across America.

Restarted this for travelling through South America with my girlfriend Claire. I would link her Couchsurfing profile, but since "non-profit" CS started charging monthly subscriptions she does not have one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've made many lifelong friends while Couchsurfing and aim to make many more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really truly do not even know where to start!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to survive a few hours in -30 degree cold after a semi truck crash during an ice storm in very rural Wyoming before being rescued. It was a very unpleasant experience, and now that I think about it not very amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a licensed pilot. I'm trying to fly a light aircraft on every continent, so far I'm at three: North America, Oceania and Antarctica. Play your cards right and I'll take you up for a spin.

As a lifetime aviation professional I really am always keen for a chat about the past, present and future of our wonderful industry.

Avid outdoors enthusiast and a wilderness first responder. Have a couple scuba diving certifications and thinking about taking a month and becoming a divemaster. Weather observer with the NWS, have had my CDL for over ten years now...OK wait is this my Couchsurfing profile or my resume?
