CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, create community, make a positive difference in the world

ABOUT ME

I'm an idealist; I care about others and want to make a difference in the world. I love meeting new people and learning new things, and I love to laugh! I'm curious, optimistic, and energetic. I love to run, and I've gotten hooked on marathons and ultra-marathons - especially if they involve trails and new adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

"And then the day came when the risk to remain tight within the bud became greater than the risk to blossom." - Anais Nin

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm pretty new to the CS2 community, but I think it's a fantastic idea! I loved my first couchsurfing experience in Sarasota and was hooked from there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had fun couch-surfing for races in other states, and I have also really enjoyed hosting several CS'ers.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Let's see, I won a 50K trail race in 2007, a 40-mile trail race in 2009, and a 50-mile trail race in 2008. I kinda like to run :)

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can make great stir-fry, ride horses, pace you to run any distance you choose, walk forward with my feet facing backward, unscramble words at lightning speed, and beat anyone in a staring contest. I can also show you how to decoupage and make great gift boxes and other crafts.
