Husband, father of four. That's most of it. But the kids have become more independent and I can see my own life coming back into focus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to take long distance motorcycle trips. I usually camp but stumbled across this site and thought it might be a way of meeting new and interesting people while traveling alone. I like the idea of hospitality to travelers. Once my house is setup a little better I plan to host. I've used Uber, airbnb, both for the first time this week and now signed up with this site. The first two are great. We'll see about the latter.

Music (if you have a guitar I can play and sing) conversation, and a tie to someone from the best city on Earth, Chattanooga.
