I'm an environmental scientist, Living Product developer, business creator, and lover of life. My partner and I have a modest house in the hillside surrounded by a nature preserve we manage with our close community. It's a one-mile gravel road down here, but any vehicle can easily make it except in heavy snow. Our home creates more electricity than we need and we only use fossil energy resources for cooking. Eventually we will take the place completely off-grid. It's something of a bird sanctuary with numerous owls, hawks, and numerous smaller birds. We're 25 minutes from downtown Bloomington.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the world and meet the world's inhabitants! Erin and I enjoy community and having spontaneous experiences. We have a special little place we call home in the side of a hill within an incredible intentional conservancy & community. We both have lived in distant and spectacular places like Colorado, Northern Wisconsin and Australia; although we have established some deep roots, we want to keep exploring and help others do so!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A private bedroom. You really need a vehicle to make it here. It's a rigorous reach from Bloomington by bicycle. Uber & Lyft are possible.
