CURRENT MISSION

... continue to enjoy being and sharing how to be a never ending learner...

ABOUT ME

... many travels so far... many more to come.... Drove tour bus out of Seattle (and Western US) for almost nine years... Snowboarding Career spanning back to 1987.. (Minus the last ten years... no snow...) On Big Island/ Hawai'i since 2000. I'm the fortunate father of two awe inspiring boys (Keoki and Kenika/ their middle names...) on my own now in matters of the heart... guess I'll just keep hikin' and see what comes next... NOW I split my residence between my dear Laupahoehoe and living with my boys here in NH...

PHILOSOPHY

How do you know what you don't know if you don't know that you don't know it?... OK Lots more, of course... lately seems to be pushing my very own 'comfort zone' and "... promoting new learning..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

... just getting started but I'M IMPRESSED! Guess if I hadn't been nesting this last decade I'd have been couch 'surfin around the world since '99!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

... France, England, Spain, Trinidad, Tobaggo, ... oh yeah that was back in the 80's.... NOW ... what a tool to have at your fingertips. I'll get back with a report of my future experiences!

Interests

Besides 'lifelong learner'... hiker, snowboarder, biker, swimmer, surf, waterski... etc... knowing that my work means something....etc.

• technology
• hiking
• snowboarding
• boxing
• swimming
• communications
• teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

... MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS... (my latest favorite)... how can you pick just one with the Netflix at your disposal?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

... nearly everyday I can find something new and amazing on my island... but out in the world (also)! I've been amazed to find myself having crossed 'cultural lines' without realizing it and being pulled into 'the family'... (more times in more places than I can count!)... NOW I seem to be doing the same in a new region... (NH)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a SPED teacher... so 'outside the box' is a main focus in my work. Theatre... assistive technology... media that supports learning... it's all in the 'toolbox'!
