I am on the fence politically. I believe in healthcare and education for everyone. I am a historical re-enactor, colonial, fur trade, civil war. I love to travel and learn, and then share what I learn. I am a scoutmaster for boy scouts, youth group advisor for my church, and volunteer for Idaho Drug Free Youth. I like to target shoot, canoe, backpack, sail, woodworking, reading, and photography.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live life close to the ground, and travel that way as well. People in foreign countries and other states have always taken care of me, so I want to serve others. I also used to be a manager of a youth hostel in California.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all music except the kind where it sounds like they parked a car on some guys foot and recorded him screaming. I also don't like whiny male country music. I like most movies. I read history, science, self help, and religion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Pacific Crest Trail five times
