About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To compete in a running race in every country.

ABOUT ME

After working as a transportation engineer for two years, then teaching English for two years in Japan, we came back to the US so Kristin could get a teaching certificate and I got a traffic engineering job in Honolulu. Finally back home :)

PHILOSOPHY

When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

Getting established, hope to be host-worthy again soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While in Seattle I was able to host quite a bit over one summer, and we have hosted a bit in Japan despite our more hectic travel and event schedule. We also had a great time couchsurfing in Australia, overall a tremendous help in fulfilling our desire to see the world and its people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll list two, sorry to break the rules. First is bungee jumping in Canada on Valentine's Day. Buck Naked. It was snowing. Only my wife gets to see the video.

The other was running a 24km race in the West Fjords of Iceland with nothing but sheep, tundra and the Arctic Circle for 2 hours. Magical.
