CURRENT MISSION

This world has too much to offer for me to sleep on my own couch.

ABOUT ME

I'm a wander. I love sailing and singing and smoking my pipe. I can't wait to see more of this earth. Some say I would make a good old man; I'll let you make that call. I love fermenting things: pickles, sauerkraut, beer, wine, and many other things. Come taste!

PHILOSOPHY

I have fun every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host and love surfing and meeting new folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of my favorite surfing experiences was in Asheville, North Carolina. I was there with my best friend and we met a fellow surfer named Paul from Seattle. We spent the week biking around the area. Good times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving on a whim to Niagra Falls, eating wings at the Anchor Bar (home of the original), spending the day on Lake Erie, and driving all night with friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love homebrewing and coffee roasting, and fermenting a variety of foods. We can talk. I'd love to share what I know. And you can teach me all your great skills.
