CURRENT MISSION

To see all I can see and do all I can do

ABOUT ME

I work in research at the North Texas VA Hospital. I was once set on being a scientist, now I am looking at becoming the other kind of doctor.

PHILOSOPHY

Give generously, take sparingly, make no enemies, and remember that everything comes to an end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been taken in by 8 wonderful hosts over two months while backpacking in Puerto Rico where I met my current girlfriend. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and it probably would have never happened without Couchsurfing.

Interests

Motorcycling and motorcycles. I am constantly finding my self wrenching on them and taking more and more ambitious projects and more and more bikes.

I love mountain scenery and mountain lakes. They are always so serene and peaceful.
