CURRENT MISSION

eating my way around the globe

ABOUT ME

Middle-aged professional software goon married to a very nice bird scientist. Back in the United States after a bit of time living in Copán Ruinas, Honduras. Enjoy good food, good conversation, and good people. I cook often, and love learning new dishes to bring home to my friends and family here in the States.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My wife and I rent one half of a duplex in Venice, CA. We share the place with two friendly, but dirty dogs. We have a spare couch in the front room and a shelf full of delicious sour beers. You may have access to only one of these two things - choose wisely.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted many a-traveler over the ten-ish years that I've been on CouchSurfing. Not any since moving to Los Angeles - but perhaps that will soon change!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I asked my now-wife to marry me while scuba diving. That's pretty cool, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

I am good with computers, good with people, and good with food. You could probably drop me off in the jungle with a piece of twine and a cantelope and I'd make friends within the hour. Or at the very least I could make them a website or cook a nice brunch.
