CURRENT MISSION

Bring the Community Table to the deserving public.

ABOUT ME

Traveled around the world for 12 years. In that time I have become Lord Mayor of the Community Table. If you are wondering what the community table is it is simply everyone's table. Everyone can sit. Everyone can share. It is the community table. If you are wondering how I became Lord Mayor of the Community Table then I have to answer I am not sure. I think someone gave me the title at a music festival in Canada when the Community Table was entertaining guests from far and wide.

Come and join the Community Table.

PHILOSOPHY

"Can you smoke it???"

I am, in all truth, a philosopher, so I don't really want to answer this here, hahaha. Once I get started I might not be able to start…

But, just for a small one that I happened to be thinking about yesterday over a cup of coffee: I think that principles are better guides for our actions than are consequentialist/utilitarian motives. If I have two girlfriends is it wrong because it is just wrong to have two girlfriends, or is it wrong only if I get caught? hmmm

(I don't have two girlfriends, by the way!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host anyone who goes to Alberta, Canada. But I live in the middle of nowhere, so chances of you being there are limited. However, if you are, be prepared to eat, talk, and help feed the cows.

To create Community and meaning.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Community Tables all over the world. Indonesia, Mexico, Europe, Canada, Japan.

Interests

Oh dear, just about everything. Why trees don't stop growing for their entire lives, why we derive so much meaning from other people's opinions, why the Persian system of satrap might be a potential solution for development issues. Why it is called Montezuma's revenge and why he dislikes me so much and feels it necessary to extract such revenge upon poor me.

And, to round out the last comment, suadero tacos from street vendors in Mexico City. So delicious. So, so delicious….

I read a lot and write. It is my life.

I like to play golf and ice hockey when the opportunity presents itself.

I like beer. Ohhh, I like beer.
