About Me

CURRENT MISSION:

Climb my way through the World!

ABOUT ME:

After a 7 year stint in the US Military, I decided it was time to drop everything and rediscover myself. I decided to take my knowledge as a diesel technician and love for rock climbing and combine them; I converted a VW camper van to diesel and now live in it full time seeking out new and adventurous rock climbing destinations.

PHILOSOPHY: Karma

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted several surfers when I had a place. I am now more interested in surfing and meeting locals in the places I visit as I don't really have a place to share. If you would like to go camping or rock climbing, then I have the ultimate rig for us!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted and surfed.

Interests

I love Music. Nothing can describe the feelings generated during live concerts. Red Rocks is one of the best venues ever!
I am learning to play guitar. I am not the best but I try and would love to sing for you.
Fixing anything that's broken especially if it involves an internal combustion engine. This usually means being stranded on the side of the road trying to get my van to make it to the next destination.
I enjoy "extreme" sports bmx/rock climbing /skydiving
