I was once told I’m a bit of an enigma, though I don’t think I’m overly complicated. I see beauty in most everything and tend to see the best in others. I'm a natural born rebel with a Zen-Buddhist approach who desires more inclusion and less division, more love and less fear. My greatest accomplishment is raising three amazing human beings. I love my job working as a performance coach, and am grateful for the projects I get to work on. I built an award winning health centre, I did a TEDx Talk, I’m a Team Leader in Search and Rescue, a youth football (soccer) coach,, Author of ‘Dark Water Fountain’, and the executive director for a non-profit.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

In November, 2019, I embarked on a two year backpacking trip around the world. I wanted to connect with other like minded individuals and community leaders who wish to support the positive evolutionary growth of the human species, however.. Covid ended my trip.
I am now working projects that require me to travel a lot. I have a one bedroom home that I rarely use, and want to share it with good people.
