ABOUT ME

My friends would say that I am an outgoing, friendly, generous person who loves his family, life and his Savior. They would probably say that I work all the time, hardly ever sleep and am way too involved in learning new things and being involved in a diverse variety of organizations learning, sharing, teaching and empowering others. They would say that I love working with young people but that I have no interest in professional sports.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I travel to travel and I like to meet people who travel.

Interessen

By today's standards, I consider myself a boring person. I am on a computer all day and discussing the latest technology and trends yet because of what I do, I do not participate in social media. I never turn on a TV (for months / years at a time) but love to do the "old fashioned activities of sitting on a porch, contemplating a beautiful view, discussing theology, reading several good books at a time all while listening to music. I enjoy meeting and interacting with interesting people. I define interesting people as ones who can share more about life than the latest episodes of whatever they saw or heard on TV or sports or people who only live vicariously through Facebook friends they have never met. I stay current on issues and technology so that may make me a major geek. I have 20+ years of viewing the world through world travel and wilderness backpacking experiences and never tire of challenging myself physically, mentally and spiritually to new heights and goals.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Watching each of my four children being born (confirming my earthly mortality). Hiking Avian Ridge out of Goat Lake in Waterton National in Canada (confirming my earthly insignificance). Becoming a Christian (gaining an eternal significance and the Way to immortality).

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I don't claim to be an expert at anything - just a constant observer and lifelong learner. “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” - attributed to John Wooten and Charlie "Tremendous" Jones
