I had been in the Bismarck, North Dakota area since July of 2014 working. I have left that project to pursue a project in the east coast area of the US. I am currently in Alexandria, VA
I am what is called a Senior ROW (Right of Way) Purchasing Agent for pipelines or utilities. Very interesting work indeed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel to places I have never been to, and I truly want to do this differently than I have before.
I have looked for places in Amsterdam before... but nothing was available at the time I was traveling.
Anyway... traveling down the west coast will be exciting and I really want to meet new people and make this an experience.
Me and my 8 year old female, black Lab, Sophie. She is my best friend and is more human than most people I know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've recently stood on the arm of "Crazy Horse" in South Dakota with my dog Sophie. Since doing that we have traveled all over the country from Seattle to
Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Utah, Denver, Memphis, Knoxville and Charlotte. 6,200 beautiful miles.

Teach, Learn, Share
