CURRENT MISSION

Photograph in all 50 States: 28 down, 22 to go! (Also Virgin Islands, Canada & The Netherlands).

ABOUT ME

Husband, Daddy, Rock Climber, Photographer, Keyboardist, Percussionist, Juggler, Worshiper, Optical System Engineer, Space Telescope Designer, Lay Counselor. Rabid fan of the rapper NF. I enjoy what I do, or I don't do it. People in my life make the difference.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a bit of an oddity. I'm a Christian; I do the Jesus thing. I enjoy ALL people who are pleasant to be around. At the same time, I like being around edgy people who can push limits. I do this myself with my artistic photography - I use nude figures in nature and urban areas. Open yourself to me and I'll open my story to you. Let's talk about things that astound us!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would like to have more contacts for when on Photo Trips. Will gladly provide a photo shoot and/or photo instruction to hosts! Will gladly help cook/get dinner and enjoy some conversation.I'm not "CS verified" yet, but you can hit my professional photo website, find my home phone listing, and generally google the snot out of me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed at apartments a few times when the photoshoot went late into the night. On one extended stay in Seattle, I even got to help with plumbing!

Music, Movies, and Books

If you've not seen Short Term 12 yet, go watch it now. Or when I'm surfing your couch. I've enjoyed The Blacklist for the last 6 years. Now I watch science videos on YouTube a lot.

From my original 2011 profile: Super 8 was astounding. Just saw 50 First Dates - Was surprized I liked it so much. I'm eclectic: I watch Castle, Stargate Universe, Chuck, Lie to Me, 30 Rock ... VeggieTales & Mr. Bean and The A-Team with my son.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting involved in artistic photography - Creating an image people admire is like a singer hitting a high note! (I CAN'T sing, so I image!)

Teach, Learn, Share

How to take more than a snapshot. How to apply the Bible practically. How to model. How to rock climb. Understanding your life story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook. We can discuss astrophysics (at any level), philosophy, theology, photography...life!
