About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world while and discover new cultrures people and ideas. Being in balance with the earth and its fluids.

ABOUT ME

I love to sail, skateboard, climb, play guitar, cook, and conduct cutting edge research in microgravity slosh dynamics. I grew up raised by a family of craftsman and artists. my mom is an abstract artist, my dad is a carpenter, and my step dad is a machinist. I have twin sisters who are both artists. Recently I raced from ft. luaderdale, FL to charleston, SC (408nm) offshore. It was an amazing adventure. I love new adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, be honest. It doesn't matter your religion or beliefs as long as you have a good heart. I some times lie on the ground and give the Earth a hug.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in Melbourne florida, Its halfway between Jacksonville and Miami. I have two roommates and a futon in the living room. We are a fun group of people with an apartment that overlooks a park. And faces west so the sunsets are incredible. We go camping on the islands in the Indian river.

----10 years later update.
I live in Mt. View. Ran this project until July 1. https://acubed.airbus.com/blog/monark/monark-a-stepping-stone-to-a-sustainable-weather-ready-future/
