ABOUT ME

I'm a big guy with a large heart. I'm very friendly, kind, and brave and all those Boy Scout oathy things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel isn't about checking a destination off your list, it is about seeing the world through the eyes of people who are very different than you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once performed a song from the Sound of Music for Kofi Annan, George Bush II, Madeleine Albright, and other major world leaders. Also, I danced in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Most importantly, Kenny Ortega, yes "Hocus Pocus" Kenny Ortega once said of my dancing audition that, "(I) came in fifty pounds heavier than the competition and I blew them away!"
