ABOUT ME

My wife is my better half

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a sinner saved by the grace of God.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hope to host more once my wife and I get settled somewhere. We'll be moving this summer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my couchsurfing experiences have been good. I've only done it once (yet), but I have several close friends who have couchsurfed for weeks on end all over Europe--and those were good vicarious experiences.

Interests

I like reading, good conversation (especially if aided by drinks and a cigar or pipe), a well made cocktail, good eats, traveling without a camera, riding my bike, talking with animals and small children, and being in the snow.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't get me started.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Alps. They're unlike the mountains I know of the American west or northeast, and they're everything you imagined they'd be and more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can reduce any conversation to a philosophical concept. I'm not sure that's a good thing.
