Laid back, fairly well read, I like outdoor activities, working with my hands and gardening in my backyard (flowers, vegetables and a bunch of fruit trees). I have a background in art and sculpture as well as cabinetmaking. Married to my love and best friend, Natasha. We have between us five kids, none living at home with us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first joined before a trip to Hawaii. Had no luck finding a host. But some of our kids have surfed, and it seems like a decent human thing to make space when we can for the occasional traveler.
