About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission generation.

ABOUT ME

More than anything else, I dance.
I am a creative cook and baker,and an opportunistic omnivore.
Some days, it seems I am becoming a poet.
I have been a sound tech, a lighting tech, professional proofreader, computer programmer, substitute teacher; I also performed at Carnegie Hall, practiced law, studied Acupuncture, shoveled shit and lived at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for half a year, and in Albuquerque for 25. I live in Southeast Florida since 1999.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in the perfectability of the human spirit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My former wife and I lived in the Great White Truck for two years. We only paid to camp two nights. We couchsurfed in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Detroit, Missouri, New Orleans, Maine, Flagstaff, Buffalo, Montreal and Toronto. We were doing the Coast to Coast to Coast to Coast run while heading to Central America via the Gaspe Peninsula.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked on a rug full of broken glass - on purpose; building a fire to walk on wasn't an option. This was a very scary thing for a dancer, but I did it.
I also saw the Northern Lights in Northern Quebec; Physics came alive.
