----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a humble, confident, very open minded, old soul. Well versed in life - tradesman by profession. An optimistic realist. I saturate & become the environment I am in. I love to inspire. I have a wild sense of humor & can tell stories forever. Beyond all things, I just love a good conversation. I've lived somewhat of a bohemian lifestyle, constantly engaged in the arts. I believe heavily in reciprocity & paying it forward. I often do things for strangers for free, & sometimes they don't understand why - I just tell them to pay it forward.

I've lived in Northern NJ, Philadelphia, & New Mexico. I've always been apart of community based lifestyles if one form or another. Throughout the course of my adult life - I've lived with well over 60 people (closer to 100). Experiencing diversity is priceless, ----- Priceless.

-B.A. Art institute of Philadelphia
-6 years culinary industry (made it to chef!)
-Carpenter & electrician for some of the biggest photo-voltaic installation companies in the country. (I'm a solar nerd).

Favorite smells: Cut grass, cut wood, diesel products/garage, Gojo, sauteed garlic & onions, burning wood, autumn leaves, winter air. Whats your favorite smell??

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

TRAVEL - PEOPLE - ENVIRONMENT -RECIPROCITY - ALTRUISM
I am moving to Arizona! Driving across the country from New Jersey.
Meeting new people & experiencing new environments.
I absolutely love the traveling community.
I also plan on hosting in the near future.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Hagakure:

"We are content to follow our path without striving toward an end, because we understand that there is no end. Here we strive everyday to improve and the more we learn, the more we realize that we know nothing."

Yamamoto Tsunetomo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode my motorcycle from Philly to West Virginia. The highway up in the WV mountains was one of the most stunning visual scapes Ive ever scene.

Climbed a construction crane! about 17 stories! intense and beautiful.

refresh my memory - I can probably think of more later on.

Teach, Learn, Share

The passing on of valuable knowledge. I absolutely love to teach. I will forever be a student of life. It never - ever, gets old. When you teach something to someone - they will never forget you.

Teaching:
Weather its how to properly dice an onion, render a sauce, frame a house, or play a guitar chord - I have plenty to offer.

Learning:
I want to learn everything! anything you got.
****can someone please teach me some yoga! I need it more than I can confess.****
Permaculture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I currently can not host because of travel. But, once I get settled in Arizona, I will be taking on surfers asap!

Share: I will build, fix, or cook anything you want! (please just don't ask me to build you a whole house)! I can get talking - just ask!

If I can give you something, and, you can give me something = priceless.
