I'm on a mission to create new surfing products and opportunities. In recent years I've been focusing on CAD in order to make airfoil-based surfboard fins that act like wings. I make them with a 3D printer, it's very fun. Being 3D printable, this innovation is going to be a golden goose for people in 3rd world surf areas. Selling one set of fins could be worth 10x a daily wage in their hands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here in order to connect with more people. These days I value my free time for working on my projects, but I still like to host cool people from time to time.
We live in an age where humanity is on track towards figuring out how to help each other find our soul purpose and act on it.
Before most of us can do that, we need to sort out how to alleviate the pressures of finances, food and home.

Interests

I'm a veteran lifeguard, been surfing 30 years now! I've got a computer engineering degree and thanks to a local maker space, a great place to tinker on things and be around inventive projects. I enjoy reading, learning, and pushing the limits of what's possible. I want to help people wake up, find more happiness, and live with more vitality and purpose. My interests revolve around these goals.
