CURRENT MISSION

I enjoy variety, experience, and broadening horizons in different geographic areas as much as possible and will continue to do so, to learn more about myself, others and the world around me to have a fair perspective on life.

ABOUT ME

13 Year Army Vet (5 years enlisted as a Cavalry Scout, rest as a Military Intel Officer and Space Operations), worked a variety of jobs (currently white collar work as a cyber security project manager), the most enjoyable were outdoors. Tobacco free, vegetarian type, I live for mountains, snowy forests, and cold weather.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm willing to (sometimes) host or just meetup, and may couchsurf when I have the time as well. Note: I don't always get email notifications about messages, so I may not respond for several days! Apologies in advance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty open to it all, excepting R&B or Country. Can rock out, can rage with the electronic crowd, and chill with the indie/folk types or get lost in a good classical piece.

Books, enjoy the sci-fi and dreaming of the future, though Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Gibran can certainly hook my attention as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran a clothing optional 5k race. Multiple times.

Teach, Learn, Share

Jack of all trades, expert in nothing, but have some experience in most everything. Will share all I know, as long as someone is willing to share with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Strange tales of poor choices and hilarious results, happy to pick up beer/pizza for the house, long windy speeches on geopolitics and history, bits of esoteric trivia that has no impact on our contemporary lives outside of winning on a game show.
