CURRENT MISSION

Parkinson's Ambassador 2016

ABOUT ME

I'm 71 y/o male diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2008. I have completed 3 solo coast to coast bicycle rides to bring awareness to living well with Parkinson's Disease. I've been a musician about as long as I've been riding bicycles-never stopped riding. I even bring a flute with me on my bicycle journey. I'm active in our church choir, handbells, and band. When I'm not on a bicycle this trip, I'm in my hybrid car with 420,000+ miles on it. My other passion is motorcycling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and sharing life experiences. It is a much better experience than the motel route night after night.

Interests

Cars, airplanes, really any wheeled vehicle. Jazz music.
