About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To give solice to the weary traveler...especially the ones that snore!

ABOUT ME

To say I don't like to talk about myself would imply that I am modest. However, I am very proud of all the accomplishments that I have made in my life. My journey started out really early but then it was halted by traditionalism and reality. I believe I am back on track and trying to find my true place in the world and how to use the gifts that I have collected over the years to enhance the lives of others and let them better mine.

PHILOSOPHY

There are so many things outside this reality that are occurring. So why should I be bothered with little things in my life that try and upset me when there is such beauty all around. Happiness is more than emotion, it is a why of life. To be content, is almost death.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the above statement defined that. I want to learn. I love books but it is time I found out what I can learn from you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There was a few times when following Phish or through a transitional time in life when I found myself in Canada, Michigan, Arkansas and Colorado enjoying the spirit of giving and receiving. The best was in Estes Park, CO when working at a Presby Camp fixing it up and taking care of the horses in exchange for a couch and food.

Interests

KARAOKE! It's the nerd in me. 80's punk rock. Jazz and Blues. Experimenting in the kitchen and great cuisine. Traveling and being outdoors. Film and television mostly sci-fi or fantasy.

Music, Movies, and Books

Authors include: Anne Rice, J.K Rowlings, Max Lucado amd Chris Rice. Music...anything except for rap. Really dig some Buble but love some Ryan Montbleau Band. Movies? The Breakfast Club, Neverending Story, Camp and The Color Purple are in my top.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Delivered a child. Eulogized a friend. Won three Emmys.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to laugh again. To smile not just because it is expected of me or to cry because I don't know what else to be feeling. In return. I want to show you leap and have no regrets. To soar without looking down. I want to show you that you are more than you ever thought you were and I the same.
