About Me

I am originally from Boulder, Colorado. I joined the Army at the age of 19 and retired from the Army at the age of 39. I now live near Pensacola, Florida area with my wife and daughter. For many years we owned an online Spray Tanning company called the Sunless Store.

We still offer Spray Tanning services.

At the beginning of 2018 I (Kevin) was diagnosed with Stage IV Mantle Cell Lymphoma. It's an incurable form of cancer. I was in a Clinical Trial at MD Anderson in Houston and I'm in remission now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A great way to meet people and make new friends. I have traveled around the world (well not all the way)
People are fascinating! In love meeting people. What I have learned is that we are not all that different.

Not much into movies. I like pretty much all kinds of music and enjoy watching documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent 5 years stationed overseas. I lived in Okinawa, Korea and Germany.
I was in Germany when the wall came down. I went to Berlin before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I can't think of one amazing thing that I've seen or done, but I have seen and done lots of cool things!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about other cultures, food and people. Everyone has a story to tell, not many get to hear it.
I can tell you all about Army life and the amazing people and places that I have met.
I can teach you how to Spray Tan :) Or offer you a Spray Tan :)
