CURRENT MISSION

To love God, neighbor, and earth.

ABOUT ME

I love old motorcycles. I've been employed as a mechanic, so I've got a bunch of tools to help you out if you're in a bind. I love my wife and kids. I used to be a runner and rock climbing guide and am working on getting back into the groove.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host folks. One day, maybe my wife and kids and I will cash in on some of this good kharma and couch surf our way through Mexico. For now, though, we enjoy being hosts and meeting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I've occasionally been a surfer, my wife and I mostly play host. We've had all sorts of people stay with us for all kinds of reasons -- homeless tramps, visiting friends, stranded travelers. Some simply stay overnight, others for years! We've been blessed by them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My wife and I moved to Oregon from Wyoming across the badlands on a motorcycle with only what we were carrying. It was a beautiful drive, and re-building our life together was both challenging and fantastic.
