CURRENT MISSION

Meeting and enjoying the company fo people I would otherwise never meet

ABOUT ME

I'm a father of 3 wonderful daughters, husband of my beloved wife of 39 years, Melanie and grandfather of lovely Cora, Carys and Ruby and amazing Kai and Olli. I worked for years in construction and the oil industry before going back to college to become a chiropractor. I tremendously enjoy helping relieve people pain with my knowledge and skills, but my passion is teaching people what they can do to help themselves and live a healthier life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted once in Chula Vista Calif., an excellent experience, and am now in the process of my 1st hosting experience.

Interests

I love spending time with family and friends. I love the opportunity I to get to know so many interesting people in my career as a chiropractor and feel incredibly blessed being able to make a living helping so many people. I love vegetable gardening, camping, walking, reading. I'm interested in survival and sustainable living skills and just love to learn. Curiosity hasn't killed me yet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: classic rock, reggae, folk, bluegrass, R&B, blues, jazz, classic country, pretty ecclectic tastes.
Books: Health, diet, inspiration, spiritual, gardening, alternative energy, self sufficiency, wish I had more time for fiction.
Movies: Wide range of styles but good quality including classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching my girls grow up to be beautiful, wonderful, wise women and mothers and now watch the miracle of my grandchildrens' development. The realization that I would want to be fiends with my daughters even if I wasn't related. Seeing my daughters all married to remarkable men who's company I truly enjoy.
The joy of being able to help others with my career as a chiropractor. Being a "Burner". Experiencing the paradox of time as my wife and I grow older. Sharing my life and the changes that come with time with my beloved wife, Melanie. Experiencing ever increasing meaning and joy in life as time goes on.

Teach, Learn, Share

To learn about others lifes, passions, families, experiences, dreams and beliefs. To share my knowledge regarding health and wellness, healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle. To learn and share and find commonality rather than differences in belief systems but only when others are interested in doing so.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with cooking and dishes, household chores. Although I wouldn't likely have a table with me, I can evaluate musculoskeletal conditions and do some brief body work.
