Intermittent availability... If you want me to host, please read my couch information!

I'm youthfully laid back when relaxing, but focused and driven when working on something meaningful. I have wonderful friends and family in many places, and enjoy interacting with genuine people and bringing them into my world.

CS is a supplement to travel, not the means to travel, and you should always be ready to use a hotel rather than rely on the generosity of a stranger... If you're independent and want to meet cool peeps, get an inside perspective on local life, and do awesome things, then read my couch info to request me :-)

I want to make the world a better place and am part of a cleantech company to make hydrogen, capture solar energy, clean coal pollution and store electricity. I also work as a strategic consultant on much broader topics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host people, am hosted, organize events, mediate disputes, and give advice. CS has introduced me to some very memorable people that I hope time and circumstances allow me to meet more often.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share experiences with people, and I want to cook more. I have engineering degrees and am in search of the ideal ego. I keep my profile concise so you read it before asking me to host.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

What goes around comes around, If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, and If you don't leave the world a better place, you've lived in vain.
