I do my best to treat others the way I want to be treated and to not judge people immediately off of first impressions.

Here are some quotes that I like:

"The harder you work the luckier you get." - Gary Player

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman

"Follow your dreams...it is important to be who you are because when you stop being that you won't succeed. I've seen a lot of people go down an unfortunate path when they try to be someone they're not so don't ever fail to have that courage." - Susan Hollingshead

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: If you're down to teach something I'm down to learn it.

Share: Delicious food, beer, smiles, laughs, memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A respectful guest who is willing to help out with whatever needs assistance. Please just ask and I will help out in whatever way I can. Again fair warning, if it is dangerous or I don't agree with it for whatever reason I reserve the right to say no. I hope you understand.
