I make my living as a Chemical Engineer but am making an intentional effort to connect and expand my circle of contacts. I live in Idaho Falls and love hiking in the Tetons and soaking in the many wilderness hot springs in this area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Not much of a movie goer. My all time favorites are the Lord of the Rings. I like books better, primarily thought provoking and challenging non-fiction on spirituality and personal growth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got my flight instructor certificate and survived a plane crash. Maybe God really does love me. He is going to a lot of effort to keep me alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

My spiritual journey is the center and focus of my life.

I thrive on deep conversations and encountering different points of view. My own background and practice is Christian, but I’m finding that the mystery of God is bigger and gentler than I previously assumed.

I now see my faith as a journey toward authenticity and wholeheartedness and it seems that everyone I meet along the way helps my progress.
