About Me

Please don't send us any last-minute requests. Our lives are very full, right now, and while we are happy and excited to host, when we can, if you contact us less than a week before you want to surf, we really cannot accommodate that.

PHILOSOPHY
" In a system of immense power, small differences can translate into large outcomes."
-Noam Chomsky

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." -Leonardo da Vinci

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've slept through earthquakes, floods, and fire alarms. I've written a novel in a month (it wasn't very good). I also once kidnapped my professor's giraffe and took it to Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to show CSers around the beautiful nature in Oregon. Hiking in the Columbia River Gorge is a favorite activity. :)
