About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Daring to be different, keeping hydrated and healthy, and realizing that control is an illusion.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a little resort town in Upstate New York. I have been sailing on boats since I was three months old. As soon as I could stand I was skiing, and as soon as I was walking I was golfing. While my father pushed me athletically, my Mother, an art teacher, got me into painting, acting and all things creative. I have since taken up Yoga and Rock Climbing and am continuing to explore my physical and creative planes.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't get upset about the things out of your control. It's all in the trying. The rest is not our business. When you hit that sign that reads "Success", run that light. Run. That. Light.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate with witty observational semi-ironic and counter counter-culture quips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far have been sleeping on a couch that I gave to a friend. Looking to expand my sofa related horizons.

Interests

Beyond the aforementioned activities of Golf, Sailing, Yoga, Rockclimbing, Skiing and Art. I also am picking up Ballet and Wakeboarding. Lately I've been getting into Languages, I just learned how to greet a woman in the evening in Hungarian. I dabble in many manners of diction and prose.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hemmingway, Fitzgerald, Nicolas Evans

Music is a can of worms that I could not possibly open on this bio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I circumnavigated through a series of reefs to an unpopulated archipelago in the southern Caribbean and successfully had a Cuban cigar with three friends over looking the bluest water you could imagine. There were iguanas and turtles and sea turtles and plants that looked like Dr. Seuss had imagined them, and starfish as big as your head.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about Sailing and the islands of the Caribbean. I can teach you about the culture of Nantucket. I've had lots of fun and interesting jobs over the years and would be happy to share my knowledge on Horses, Wine and Cheese, and the proper way to cut a fish.
