CURRENT MISSION

I must see what the world has to offer. The good and the bad.

ABOUT ME

Three words that best describe me:
1) Private
2) Pleasant
3) Poetic

I am a rescue diver for the U.S. Coast Guard and I have traveled to some great places by virtue of my job. I am the classic "jack of all trades" type, and find just about everything interesting. People amaze me...all types. I have a passion for learning, experiencing, and sharing what I know. I'm a listener more than a talker, but will speak my mind when needed. Nice, but not a pushover, friendly, but not creepy, and I know when I've reached the extent of my welcome.

PHILOSOPHY

It's easier to smile than it is to frown. Healthy living includes beer and wine as much as it does fruits and vegetables. Discipline is the longest, but most rewarding path to success.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teach, Learn, Share

If you need five dollars, ask for ten.

(Money < Power) < Respect

If money is what you desire you will be powerless without it.
If power is what you desire, nobody will truly respect you.
If you are respected, you desire nothing.
