An adventurous and brazen Ohio boy, ambitious for a well lived life. I'm passionate about the path I've been put on and the abundance of brilliant, talented, excellent people I'm able to meet along the way. I'm honest, genuine, and always willing to put in my share of work and help out however I can for your accommodations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet good people in places I've never been.

Interests

Playing my part in the larger tale being told, roaming the Earth and finding interesting peoples in all its corners, learning of all things that grow, engaging in music, film, and in fact all the Arts... I enjoy laughter, fine tales over fine ales, fine food in all its varied forms, fine tequila, fine cannabis (c'mon now, only in Colorado), well told History, and just about any good thing I have not yet experienced.

A book... Siddhartha.
A film... the Fountain. And Baraka. And the Good the Bad and the Ugly. And Jeremiah Johnson. And Road to Perdition. And the Darjeeling Limited. And Birdman. And Star Wars. And Snatch. And the Tree of Life. And... I'm not gonna do this right now. Let's just talk about it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I scuba dove 50+ feet into the ocean off Andros Island atop a coral reef, in the dead of night. It teemed with swarms of bioluminescent lifeforms and made me feel like I was a supermassive alien in deep space. Woooaahhh...
Also I slept out in the depths of the Gila wilderness, in a hammock, with nothing but a knife and a fire, within a couple hundred feet of cougar tracks, bear scats, and the doleful howling of the Lobo, the mysterious Mexican wolf. Being amongst that presence, that of my Brother Wolf... it changed something within me. Awakened me to what wilderness really means. The call of the wild...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll tell you stories and sing you songs, I'll do the dishes, I'll paint your house, walk your dog (likely because I'll be missing my own), I'll bring you the best vibes I have it in my road-weary soul to give, and I guarantee you I won't be any less than exceptional company.
