CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was a teacher for 17 years, and now I am assistant principal of the same school. I am working on my PhD in Educational Administration. I am married with 2 children, and I am new to this concept of couch surfing.

PHILOSOPHY

You harvest what you've sown, so treat people well and await the harvest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted kids from Up With People in my home, and I have hosted foreign exchange students here as well. When I was 20, I went on an exchange to England, and I really love the concept of sharing the domicile with travelers. I am looking to travel through Germany and the Netherlands on a research project this summer, so this site was suggested to me. I am a novice, however, but I am looking forward to meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched both of my children being born. Wow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a bit of a Renaissance man. I can fix the car, fix the plumbing or wiring, build a house, cook the dinner, write an essay, teach a literature class, manage a whole school... I've lots to share.
