About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The development and implementation of a network of emergent intentionally communities as a response to climate change, technological unemployment, and self-serving government.

ABOUT ME

I am a futurist with a focus on sustainability. I am also a state coordinator for TVP and TZM of New Mexico. If you are interested in the future, automation, technology, society, education, or sustainability, we will be great friends. If not, we can still be friends :-)

PHILOSOPHY

We shouldn't wait for someone else to do what we want, especially when it comes to improving the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a wonderful futon that we offer guests, however no one comes to Las Cruces. Maybe because it's the second hottest place in the country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some great people so far couchsurfing and I'm looking forward to meeting more. In the community we are creating, we will have a dedicated spot for couch surfers and when we're not traveling we host in Austin (although I haven't logged into my account in 3 years, my friends are more active on CS).

Interests

My interests include discussing the future and the changes humans need to make to live fuller, richer lives.

I also love traveling. In 2014 I visited 20 National Parks and Monuments (and haven't updated my profile since...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have witnessed Earth from an aircraft, something our ancestors only dreamed of. The experience truly gives you an idea of human potential.

Teach, Learn, Share

From my research I have concluded that for the first time in human history, we have reached a point where we can free ourselves from the monetary system and move towards something more progressive and sustainable, dramatically improving the rate of human progress and the quality of life for everyone on the planet. We have gone to the moon, it's about time we work together towards something even more ambitious, global sustainability and social stability.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am presently networking with potential Community Members to create a sustainable need-fulfillment community and resort which we hope to create in CO. The proposal should be complete by Dec so you will be one of the first to hear about this ambitious plan to improve how we live. :-)
