CURRENT MISSION

Helping People and Animals

ABOUT ME

For 25 years I manufactured vaccines and blood typing products. After hitting on monoclonal antibodies my
competitor went public and bought my labs. I retired and have been trail riding all over America and doing volunteer work, such as helping to save endangered species and rescuing horses. I also help people with addiction problems.

PHILOSOPHY

Trust God and Help Others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I help with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in effort of saving endangered birds and plants. I also help with horses, mules and cows. I especially feel strongly about rescuing horses from slaughter, and putting an end to slaughtering horses for food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Infantry Combat Medic in the American war in Vietnam.
I survived the stoned age in America - the 1970's. I do not use drugs, alcohol or nicotine. I sailed the Caribbean, did 3 long tours of Europe on a Harley Davidson Motorcycle. I have been trail riding my horse in 18 of the 50 United States. Trying for all 50 states with the same horse. There are boats in Bodega Bay California where you can send your horse to Hawaii.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach and learn more about horses. Through horses we can learn more about ourselves and put our soul in better condition. The Buddhists recognize a correlation between their practices and those of horse whisperers' and both work for me.
I would like to continue to share my experience, strength and hope for overcoming personal adversities. Helping and teaching English and ways to happiness.
