About Me

I am a laid back guy who accepts and respects people for who they are. I like engaging and fun conversations, hanging out, having a "not your father's root beer," running, creating things, dancing, trance and electronica, and so much more that you got to find out in person. I have three babies (girls) and my partner and I are raising them together. What else? Well, please feel free to ask while we get to know each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and traveling! Been on Airbnb and had a blast meeting people from all over the world and forming strong friendships. Life is too short, so I need to live and explore more. I hope to meet more great people who are cohabiting this planet with me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Trance, Progressive house, and other forms of electronica; rock music like old fashion metal (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, hair bands, and more); anything that is original.

Movies: I usually go by director: Anything by Oliver Stone, Michael Mann, Christopher Nolan, PT Anderson, Wes Anderson, and a few others

Books: Way too many to list. I prefer non-fiction but hey, nothing like a good Clancy at times!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went from an obese, depressed person to an ultra running dad who is full of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach and do so when the opportunity arises. My educational background is broad and strong so academically I can teach quite a lot.

I love to learn and in fact try to do this more than teach. I prefer learning about life more, matters of the heart and body than the brain. I think that I will be a student at heart till the day I die!

I love to share whatever little I have, since that is who I am as a person.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My fun personality, kindness, generosity, stimulating conversations, witty presence, foreign cultural experiences, and friendship. Did I say my fun personality?
