As a laid back, successful 9-time book author, single and divorced dad of 7 kids, my home is empty most of the time other than just me, so I figure why not share the rooms that I'm not using and meet new people at the same time! I work as a Data Scientist in the healthcare industry, but have a long history in technology as an influencer in this space. I love Bitcoin, gardens, and reviewing new technology! And I love getting to know new people of different cultures.

I once led social media for the LDS (Mormon) church, and several years after leaving my employment there had a faith crisis, left the Church, and now consider myself a very open, even somewhat spiritual (to an extent) Atheist. I love discussing religion, history, and spirituality! I can also give a great, honest tour of LDS culture and history in the area as an insider.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a recently single dad, home alone most of the time. I thought this would be a great way to meet new people and not be alone so often. Looking to take people on adventures through beautiful Salt Lake City as I have time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very wide variety of musical tastes. Lately I have been into Gospel music, helping Gladys Knight with her Gospel Choir, Saints Unified Voices. I love anywhere from classical, to jazz, to 90s alternative rock to electronic and even rap. I like most adventure, scifi, and fantasy movies and love entertainment and the arts in general.

I love books that expand and enlighten the mind! I'm currently reading "Stealing Fire", and it's amazing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I danced on stage with Snoop Dogg.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to make connections, find things we have in common, and strengths you have that I can introduce to other friends of mine. I clean up after myself and love learning your culture!
