Married, five kids, I do web development in Utah so as to pay the bills. Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. My work sent me to Belgium and Malaysia several years ago and I've been yearning to travel ever since. I like the outdoors and nature but I'm just as content to laze about at home. Thank goodness for neighbors and friends who give me motivation to get out more than I would otherwise, left to my own devices.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to travel on the cheap without running afoul of the local constabulary.

Music, Movies, and Books

Studio Ghibli, anything from Bebel Gilberto and Eliane Elias.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent some quality time in Thean Hou Temple and other points of interest in Malaysia. And my work paid for the trip, sweet! Although my visit to Guatemala many years ago was perhaps the most life-changing and eye-opening. It made my world quite a bit bigger than it was prior to the trip.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am compiling a book of what I believe to be essential, simple recipes. I only have about ten so far, but I'd be happy to share and I would like to continue to add over time when I remember to do so.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Weeding, washing the dishes, heavy lifting, whatever chores you need done, etc. Always happy to pass along the number to connect with the LDS missionaries.
