CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, meet interesting people, and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I was in the U.S. Army for 21 years. I retired, finished my Bachelor's and Master's degrees, and moved to Bangkok. I recently decided to take an extended vacation in the U.S. Currently living in Las Vegas, but I'm planning to travel as much as possible, teaching online college classes as I go.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect all, fear none. I have a great deal of respect for all people until they prove me wrong. I've met some interesting people and usually had good experiences. I'm a very good judge of character and am rarely surprised when I get to know somebody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted extensively in Bangkok and am willing to help as much as possible. I have a truck and motorcycle and am willing to provide transportation in and around Vegas. If you'd like to see some local hangouts, let me know!

Bungee jumped from a crane in Myrtle Beach...and lost all of the pictures of it!
