CURRENT MISSION

Maximize endorphins and adrenaline, minimize cortisol, and spread goodness wherever I can

ABOUT ME

Addicted to anything that involves athletics, the outdoors, or unknown adventure. Will try just about anything, especially when someone says it is impossible. You can dare me to do about anything...or just ask nicely.

PHILOSOPHY

Pura vida, mountain biking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I myself am all over the place (in Germany at this time) which makes it difficult to offer up a surf spot.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was the International Veterinary Student Association Rep for the University of Wisconsin and helped dozens of international vet students visit Wisconsin. I have surfed Georgia, Florida, and Texas with nothing but, outstanding experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- anything where people sing. I did enjoy Nelson Mandela's autobiography. Calvin and Hobbes or the Far Side.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Kruger National Park South Africa with a vet and one of two helicoptor pilots for all of the South African National Parks. We flew often on missions trying to detect what was killing hundreds of massive crocodiles- first airlifting dead ones and performing necropsies to investigate the cause of death. Other animals we worked with were buffalo, hippos, rhinos, mass capture of various hoofstock, and well, you can see where this is headed.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't judge people- it's the first and last mistake you'll make.
