CURRENT MISSION

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

ABOUT ME

Easy-going, open-minded, intense, nature-worshiping, crazy, fun-loving guy.
I'm the proud father of two wonderful daughters, age 26 & 23.
I'm also an avid reader, avid movie watcher (never listen to critics - watch 'em and make my own decisions), and avid music listener. I'm an introverted extrovert, meaning I do a lot of self reflection and often feel awkward initiating new interactions (especially in group situations) but once you start me up, I never stop!

PHILOSOPHY

Our similarities bring us to a common ground.
Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Completely, openly & honestly in everything I do. Plus, I'm pretty sure I bring a little fun (sometimes, outright insanity) to the table.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just completed a drive cross-country (and back) to spend a month playing on the Colorado Plateau. Surfed in four different homes and all were singular and wonderful experiences.

Interests

Good friends, good food, & good microbrews.
Philosophical discussion, learning, & furkids.
Hiking, photographing, & canyoneering.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life, the universe, but not everything (yet).
Gotta pick just one?
Not possible, because it's the birth of each of my wonderful daughters (now 26 & 23).
Gotta be travel related?
Easy - the Colorado Plateau, I'm a certified red rock, slot canyon junkie.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk forever about human nature, psychology, religion, Nursing, computer programming, the environment.
But I prefer listening - to you, about you.
