CURRENT MISSION

To invent a microwave that irons clothing and rid the world of such an arduous chore that is ironing

ABOUT ME

I am quite tall and also quite frugal with a penchant for puns. I enjoy skiing, playing music, and all the other activities that everyone else does in this state.

I grew up moving around the country a lot and my adult life thus far hasn't been much different, though I may be in Colorado for the long run.

I've traveled quite a bit in my day and of course traveling just makes you want to do more traveling so hopefully I'll get some more done before I outgrow the sensation.

PHILOSOPHY

"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet." - John 13:14

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Less and less as I get older and marrieder, but now that we're homeowners we're happy to loan out the spare room to travelers who want to see a boring neighbor in an exciting city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed at peoples' houses when traveling abroad and thought it much better than hostels. Now, I just meet the occasional traveler that passes through and we usually share jokes and I get grief for going to bed early.

Interests

Work, baby! That is, teaching the high school youth. I also enjoy tennis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got henna tattooed by native Indians on an obscure Panama beach. They had never seen anyone as tall as me and had never heard their own voices recorded on a tape.

And to this day, as far as I know, I have written the only existing English-Embera dictionary, with the help of the tribesmen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to teach people how to crochet, do simple magic tricks, or how to ride the most dangerous Denver city bus (the Colfax 15).
