CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where no one...oh drat, that's cliche, isn't it?

ABOUT ME

Well, let's see...
I love:
--God. My life is directed by my faith.
--My wife and baby.
--people. They fascinate me.
--places. One of the life goals I made very early on is to travel as often and to as many places as possible.
--languages. Would love to speak 4 or 5 really well.
--being outdoors. Whether its playing disc golf, hiking, swimming, or whatever. Especially when outdoors includes nice landscapes to look at.
--attempting to write. I'm a convincingly inept poet, but it's fun.
--singing. Might not be the best, but it's fun.
--attempting the harmonica. Just a cool instrument.
--food. I'm 0% picky, and will try (almost) anything once, and probably enjoy it.
--a good cigar/beer/glass of scotch or red wine.

Plenty else...but that's enough for you to read right now.

PHILOSOPHY

Love God. Love People. Enjoy life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently in the process of moving the family overseas, so no couch surfing adventures for a while for us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed for about a week in Louisville the first time I was here, spent a couple days with a cool couple in Arkansas, and overnighted with a family in DC.
