CURRENT MISSION

I work with business leaders to create the more connected, collaborative, compassionate, and conscious path to success essential to a sustainable world.

ABOUT ME

I am 56, a business consultant, and an adventurous traveler. I have always preferred camping or staying with locals to staying in hotels, exploring the countryside or city streets to visiting tourist attractions, and getting to know the local culture.

I love my current home of Santa Fe for its history, mix of Anglo, Hispanic, and Native American infuences,lots of public art and live music, and physical surroundings. I spend a lot of time hiking and camping in the surrounding area.

PHILOSOPHY

"Who are you and what do you want?" are the two most important questions in life. Unfortunately, most of us just put them on our answering machines and forget about them.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am brand new to CS but I love the idea of being able to plug into a community wherever I go, and offering that to people who come to Santa Fe.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Snorkeled the barrier reefs of Belize from a traditional fishing vessel, rafted the entire Grand Canyon, gone hiking cross country with a map & a compass in Denali National Park & Alaska's Chugach Mountains, run a marathon, met Forrest Fenn (the guy who's in the news for burying a treasure chest somewhere in the mountains), played the piano in the Houston Coliseum, been twice around the Indy 500 racetrack, watched a spider molt, woke up in the night to discover a skunk in my tent (it had figured out zippers! Yikes!) and DIDN'T get sprayed,gone hiking with my cat in the wilderness, been scuba diving, skydiving, and spelunking, witnessed a meteor storm and a total solar eclipse, survived a bone marrow transplant, and appreciated the extraordinary beauty and grace of the tiniest moments of everyday life. The list is endless. My life is full of adventure.
