About Me

Hello and thank you for reading my bio! Either you're looking for a place to stay or I have requested to stay with you. You will see my profile that it says I have not had any experience coach surfing, however I have but it was over 8 years ago and I wasn't able to remember my login. I had a couple changes in my life and now I am back on track to host and to travel. Since my last couchsurfing experience, I have changed my approach on experiencing the world. Rather than vacations I am seeking experiences and relationships. I am a very laid back easy going guy. Single father of three with shared custody, so my children may or may not be at my house, however they are all teenagers now, so there priorities are with their friends haha. For the most part I live alone, but I do take in temporary roommates as I provide housing to pretty much anyone that needs it and that I'm able to accommodate. In addition to being a realtor and business owner, I am also working on getting a non-profit off the ground called LoveWoR, which stands for Love without Reservation. This nonprofit is geared towards bringing together a diverse population and building stronger and more sustainable communities, integrating convicts back into society, and providing opportunities for employment, housing, and education for anyone with a criminal record, crushing the stigma of mental health disorders, and creating a network of resources to help anyone with anything that they need during difficult or critical times and life events. In short, we want more love and less hate by supporting, encouraging, celebrating, assisting, and teaching by and between as many members of society we can reach, resulting in happier, healthier, and more comfortable lives for all
