About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to explore the world around me and be helpful to people I meet along the way

ABOUT ME

I work for a church and school in Memphis at the Facilities and IT Director and help take care of the animals we have at home; llamas, tortoise, peacocks... I like to get out and hike as much as possible and explore Memphis to learn more about the town I live in.

PHILOSOPHY

"Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it" - George S. Halas

"Do not be afraid of taking a chance. Remember that a broken watch is right at least twice a day." -Kemmons Wilson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a bit in the past, but am unable to at this time. When at home I try to participate with local community in Memphis. I would also be more than happy to show visitors around when they come thru.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a number of people who live in Memphis, as well as people passing thru, and thru campouts with the Texas Adventures and Tennessee Adventurers groups

I've surfed a little as well in Winnipeg,MB; Fargo,ND; Nashville,TN; Murfreesboro,TN; Little Rock, AR; Reading, PA; New Orleans, LA; and Ocean Springs, MS

I also hosted a little.

Interests

Hiking wherever whenever I can, photography, nature, road trips, live music, the Chicago Bears, I also kinda like beer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow Poland is pretty cool. Also watching the sunrise over the Badlands of South Dakota on a clear February morning, watching the light paint the sky and illuminate that incredible landscape.
