I'm a recently retired carpenter and I just purchased a home in Flint and spend a lot of my time working on that. My 6 kids have left the nest and I have a great home to offer travelers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've got a great home to offer travelers and most of my 6 kids have couchsurfed dozens of times and I love hearing about these experiences. I think this is a great way to offer great vibes to the world.

Modest Mouse, Tally Hall, Grouplove, Indigo Girls, New Pornographers and other new/alternative bands. I grew up listening to Classic Rock but prefer to listen to new music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raised 6 awesome kids! I've also been self-employed most my life and benefit from a skill that is useful even as a retired old dude. Carpentry allows me to flip my house into a beautiful home and help my kids work on theirs. It also a skill that can be taught to others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A modern, clean home in a struggling city and a friendly personality should you choose to hang out. I enjoy talking about the issues in today's world, politics, and anything of interest.
