Overview
About Me
I am into hardworking and hard play. I retired young and collect rent now. Big project here in progress in am spearheading. I have worked my whole life. On weekends, I sailed to Catalina or raced dirt bikes, man. Bikes, cars and triathlons in the old days. I qualified for the Olympic US Sailing Team Team many times.
My first job at six was catching rattlesnakes and making hat bands for sale. I moved on to owning furniture manufacturing company, pubs, BBQ trucks, and commercial property. I travel all summer and relax in Sayulita all winter.
PLEASE NOTE, I DONT FACEBOOK OR SNAPTALK- I VISIT, EMAIL AND CALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I FIND MOST SOCIAL MEDIA ANNOYING FOR ME TO KEEP UP WITH. I THINK I HAVE A OLD FB, IF THAT HELPS.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have a nice place on beach and golf course just outside of madness of Sayulita. I am next to the Four Seasons Hotel. I have a beautiful condo and love cooking. I swim daily at beach and our pool. The gym is perfect here as well as yoga room. I might open my doors because my mom did the same. We lived in a big house in a nice area and she had Japanesses Exchange students live with us, I have two sisters in the USA and am an uncle. When I traveled with Team USA sailing, we met all kinds of people in Sailing community that needed places to sleep. It's a potential fit and a way of giving back.
