CURRENT MISSION

Take the final portion of the exam to get my Brokers license. Continue to write my book. To have as much fun as possible, and to find a manufacturer for my floppy hat.

ABOUT ME

I am an entrepreneur and always seem to land on my feet. I love to smile and have a tremendous sense of humor that I exercise unreservedly. I am friendly with everyone I meet. I am an exemplary story teller that will make you hungry for more. My dog "Jackson" is most often by my side.

PHILOSOPHY

A hopeless romantic, a follower of dreams, a seeker of truth, and a believer that everyone should own a copy of the Beatles White Album.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the water, so swimming and boating is common for me. I am a people person, but don't belong to a lot of organizations. I love to create and when I have time, I work on my book of short stories. I get along with women a bit better than men, but enjoy both.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only tried it once and the couch sunk into the ocean immediately.

Interests

Weird people, athletes, and friendly people with something interesting to talk about get my attention. Unusual dress, crystals, and most of all Bible interest provokes deeper conversation. I spend a lot of time dreaming, but I am known for getting things done, especially when it comes to selling something I believe in. I love to cook with friends while enjoying a nice wine and all kinds of music. I have several business inteests, but I am a firm believer in enjoying life. My book of short stories is a work in progress.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 53 years, only 3 men have won the Missouri State diving Championship as a freshman in highschool, none in the last 25 years, I was the first. I was one of the seven who put on the "Ozark Mountain Folkfair". Google it. My former wife and I invented "Pasta Snack" and the Floppy Hat. I started a cigar company in the Dominican Republic. I delivered our second child myself, at home. As far as awestruck, I saw a woman hit by a speeding train, and on the other hand, I have seen the Ozarks in the spring and fall.
