About Me

I have served 20 years in the US Army as an armament, avionic and electrical system repairer for the Apache Helicopter. During that time I have traveled the world (not always in the best places) and have generally enjoyed my time.

My primary passion would be kayak fishing, closely followed by woodworking which I have turned into a side gig. I make home decor, signs, furniture, and custom pieces. I also grow hot peppers to make my own hot sauce.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in a quiet neighborhood that is centrally located to many places on the peninsula. Public transportation is lacking in this area, however the nearest bus stop is a short ride-share away if need be.

As a host, I can offer a comfortable and welcoming home for travelers looking to explore the vibrant area of Hampton Roads I'm happy to share my knowledge of the best local restaurants, hidden gems, and must-see outdoorsy spots in the area. Whether it's a day kayaking/fishing around the local area, or a night in colonial Williamsburg, I'm always up for an adventure and eager to show guests what makes the Historic Triangle special.

If you're looking for a friendly and adventurous host in Yorktown, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm excited to meet new people and make some unforgettable memories together.
