About Me

Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.. Time is flying bye.I grew up in New Jersey. Loved going to the beach and the mountains. I'm from a big family and grew up in a neighborhood that had a lot of kids so there was always things to do.I played baseball and enjoyed playing basketball .I grew up active and still active today. I now golf ,hike,mountain bike,kayak mostly with Peggy or meetup groups. I served for our country in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Schofield Barracks, HI. I was in the Division chorus and traveled to Korea singing and doing shows. I can play guitar and piano but not so much anymore. I love singing and harmonizing. Grew up listening to the Bealtes.. I continue later or we can learn about each other when we meet..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to couch surfing last year through mt girlfriend Peggy. We have hosted 5-6 times and met wonderful people from different places and all have been wonderful experiences. We've been hosted 4-5 times and every experience has been a wonderful positive experience. I believe Peggy and I both being from large families has something to do with with us enjoying couch surfing. Peggy recommended I have my own personal profile because she plans on visiting Europe for the summer.

Interests

I enjoy the outdoors and sports. I own a Pizza truck so I enjoy making pizza. I like to cook but prefer to be Peggy's sous chief... She's a very good cook... amazing for me... I'm handy around the house. I enjoy projects... We like meeting people at different restaurants in Reno. We like Louies Basque Corner and enjoying a pican punch. We like different foods and different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music... I listen to a variety. I don't want to be stuck in the 70's and 80's and tell younger people their music sucks.... I tell people stuck to get a life... : ) It's all about that bass... Same with movies and books. Last favorite book is "Mindset-The Psychology of Success "by Carol Dweck.. Best seller and eye opener. I like Clive Cussler adventure books ..John Paterson..I like to read personal development books. I enjoy watching movies from old classics to something new. We enjoy traveling food shows, history ,animals,comedies ans adventures...
