About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Thank you for keeping my karma positive! Enjoy Life! Pay it Forward!

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Santa Fe for 21 years now. I've been Artistic Director for a non-profit theater for 5 years, a pre-school teacher for 2 years, Master gourmet coffee-roaster for 6 years, contractor, fine dining waiter, handyman, backstage theater technician, volunteer coordinator for the Food Depot, Wine club manager and bartender at a winery and now I'm back to fine dining and a lil daytime contracting. I've also recently purchased land in Carson Nm and will be building a recycled materials "earthship" starting in the spring of '19 At that point I will accept guests again at that location. It will be a great, hand-on look at how to build an off grid, recycled materials home!

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy. Do good things. Treat all others with respect. Have Fun. Don't forget to play.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not going to name the billion movies, books and artists I love. But I do love to read, watch good films and listen to, well, everything...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stood right over the lava tubes in Hawaii and watched the lava spill into the ocean right under my feet and turn into new real estate before my eyes. The earth is sooo AMAZING! (that's the first thing that came to mind...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very turned on by resourcefulness. My goal in 5 years is to build my version of a recycled material "Earthship" in Abiquiu, NM. I know quite a bit about quite a bit, but I'm much more curious about what I don't know! I love to teach and learn and have fun doing it!
