PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My traveling philosophy is its not the attraction you see or the places you visit, but the people you meet and culture you learn that is the soul of traveling so I am always eager to meet new people because there are beautiful places everywhere but everyone on this planet is different.

Music, Movies, and Books

So many favorites. I love the works of Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg (movies), Ken Burn's and the 30 for 30 documentaries.

Bill Bryson, Ryan Holiday, Rich Cohen, Neil Gaiman, and J.K Rowling are some of my favorite authors (books)

And a wide array of music (Rock, Alternative, Indie, Hip-Hop, Tropical House).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been fortunate to be involved in many large engineering projects in the US (Port of Miami Tunnel, Ohio River Bridge, I-90 and I-69 Interstates, Denver International Airport). It feels good to know that I'll leave something behind, a landmark, on the world that will be used by millions of people everyday.

Teach how to rock climb.

I love learning about other cultures and people.

Share stories.
