I am a happy 44 year old, married for the last 21 years to Evelyne and I have 6 children aged 2 to 19 years old. I am passionate about business and entrepreneurship. I started many businesses and my last one is a mobile game development studio in 2014. In 2011, I took my family on a 1 year adventure in Benin West Africa. While there I started a university that teaches students how to become leaders and entrepreneurs so they can create jobs for themselves and help in the alleviation of poverty. I travel to Africa 2 or 3 times per year. Evelyne and I, homeschool all our children and love everything that has to do with leadership education.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It's a great way to travel - to get to know people and to really get a feel for the place. I love to exchange with others and that is really how we all grow and become better. You never know where your next great idea will come.

音乐、电影和书籍

My favorite movies have been The American President and The Intern. These are the only 2 movies that at the end of the movie I really felt that I wish this movie could of lasted for ever. In general I like movies especially dramas, and actions. I also like the Star Trek series.

I really love books and to read. I read about 20 to 30 books per year. Mostly about business, entrepreneurship and leadership. I also like history, science fiction (Orson Scott Card.)

I am sorry to say that I am not big on music in general, when I listen to music it is mostly piano.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Beyond being a father and husband, the work that I do to end poverty in Africa is probably the one amazing thing that I have done and am doing. I have been working on this actively for the last 5 years and it is one of the most important thing I have ever done.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Many things. I am a very open person. Business, entrepreneurship, leadership and success principles, the cause of poverty especially in Africa, the dimension of culture, anything to do with home-based education and many other things.
