Howdy, I'm currently a resident of the fine town of Floyd, VA. I'm a community member, a teacher/educator, a learner, & journey-er.

I enjoy simple, beautiful, and useful things--like a good cast iron skillet. Being in the woods. Sharing meals. Creating music and dancing with it.
I take delight in being and collaborating with people who are aspiring to live with depth and wholeness in this wide world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my friends has told me, "Josh, wherever you go in the world, there's a hot meal and a bed. You just have to go and ask."
Couchsurfing, it seems, is one of the ways to bring that beautiful reality to the table to be enjoyed.

Things are simply at their finest when they're shared.
