CURRENT MISSION

To make new friends and learn about the world through their adventures. To find fellow artists to collaborate with. Plus, wouldn't mind meeting some fellow nudists along the way.

ABOUT ME

I am a former journalist, an actor, writer, filmmaker, photographer, performer, director, producer, etc. I have enjoyed many aspects of art from sculpting clay and writing plays to posing as a nude art model for the local colleges and art studios.

My children live with me 50% of the time, and we trade off weekly with my ex. I will only have guests on the weeks/weekends they are with their mother.

I have a sweet, loving, adorable, red-colored (or at least considered red on a human), Lab mix / American Pit female. We rescued her off the street in our old neighborhood and she's been our companion ever since. She also took to being my son's service dog as if it were her calling.

I apologize about not having a clear head shot, but there are two reasons for this:
1. I am a photographer so I am usually behind the camera, no real recent images where my face can clearly be seen.
2. Being in the public eye AND sharing custody of my children, I have to be a little bit more conservative (original meaning not political way) when it comes to anything attached to my actual image, despite the fact that I do not actually fit the more conservative (again original meaning not political) way of life.

Note: This house is a nudist/naturist household. While you are NOT required to participate at all, this must be something you are comfortable with if you are to stay here. While you are encouraged to experience what it is like in a nudist home, you will not be required to undress (and will not face ANY pressure to do so). This is not sexual, I just feel more comfortable without clothes on and have since I was 13/14. However, when I am traveling I will respect whatever the house rules of the host(s)' home are regarding this.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll have to get back to you on that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not sure how this "How I participate" section is supposed to be filled out considering I have yet to participate. I am potentially up for hosting depending on the days one is traveling through Fresno. If I don't have my kids (one week on, one week off), my place is likely available.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed on friends' couches so far, but I am looking forward to experiencing the wonders of this site.

I am also hoping I might journal my couchsurfing experiences into a creative memoirs type book.

Interests

• Nudism, I think that one has already been explained
• Window shopping, what, a guy can't enjoy looking at shops? My grandmother used to take me to antique shops with her, I guess it rubbed off, lol
• Cooking, I love to cook, but for some reason, despite being addicted to meat, I get violently ill handling it raw. I would consider going vegetarian, however my eldest child is allergic to nearly all plant based proteins.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had some interesting experiences in my life (referenced above), but I would have to say that becoming a father tops them all.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, local restaurants and "sites" recommendations, introduction to nudism, hot tub, swimming pool, video game competition, a library of a variety of eclectic books, etc.
