About Me

I am passionate about travel, history and film making. I grew up building and flying model airplanes which ultimately led to a 17 year long career maintaining the most sophisticated airplanes in the world. I am also a drone engineer, building and programming drones for the commercial market. I grew up playing ice hockey and I enjoy racing bicycles. I also enjoy camping, hiking and drinking a few cold ones with friends around a campfire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing in order to save some money during my travels, as well as to provide me with options in villages that may not have a hostel, hotel or safe camping. I believe it is also a great way to meat local residents in the countries I visit and get their perspective on daily life in the area. I may also be able to share my expertise in mechanics/photography/videography if the host/hostess is in need of it.
