Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Hosting new friends for fun and adventure around St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa, Florida.
ABOUT ME
I am a professional (engineering), but I still cut loose and have fun. I have a great sense of humor and love to get out and be social.
Lots of friends nearby and plenty of people for you to network with as well.
PHILOSOPHY
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am open to host travelers looking for fun and some laughs in the Tampa Bay area. I am able to provide transportation. (I have a new convertible.)
Please note: I live on a sailing yacht and the accommodations are really nice, but it is a little different than a house - in a good way.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have mostly just traveled to friends houses in other states and stayed over. Looking forward to meeting new people on here and showing them all the great restaurants, scenes, and beaches in St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay Area! (Bring a camera.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I drove diagonally across North America and went to Alaska from Florida by car. I worked for the Alaska Railroad, and I have designed yachts for Catalina.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach anyone to sail why they stay with me and there are great attractions nearby. Lots to do here!
