About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn & share a laugh as much as I can; and to teach my son to do the same.

ABOUT ME

My wife and I, both engineers, recently took our son on a 4-month Southeast Asian trip. We figure we'd get him started young :).

We're really good at attempting crossword puzzles and feeling defeated by the Friday editions. We're into board games, cycling and hangouts in the rocky mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

You want me to say something deep, eh?

"I know only one thing, the fact of my ignorance"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was a host in Moncton for about a year and loved it. My apartment pretty much had a revolving door for surfers. I now hope to do a bit of travelling myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted lots, had a blast. I really wish I had learned about CS sooner. I'm looking forward to surfing couches in the (hopefully near) future.
