About Me

I consider myself to be a unique mix of artist, engineer, and outdoor athlete. When I'm not teaching theatre or completing structural designs for the stage I find myself on long bike rides out in the beautiful middle of nowhere, running trails in the mountains, or out on my catamaran in the Santa Barbara channel. All the while enjoying home-cooked vegetarian cuisine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love community. People helping people, why not meet others and help them in their travels; what a great idea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've backpacked to every major base camp in Patagonia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have about 7 bikes for those searching for two wheeled adventure. I often take out my 18ft catamaran off the coast of Santa Barbara, CA and it is only better with company. I also have three beautiful chickens who supply our household with fresh eggs to share. Oh, and I shouldn't forget to mention that I brew my own beer and always have fresh homebrew on tap.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let me cook you a meal. Also, I am a handyman and I'll gladly fix your broken cabinet, squeaky door, or leaky faucet.
