About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Fly by the seat of my pants.

ABOUT ME

I am middle age big kid. Looking for adventure and friendship. To share special stories and experiences. To learn about other places, people and ????? I am artistic and creative. I love making things.

My place is small. I may not be able to host much at all, but open to discussion.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we are all here to experience anything in anyway. Complete freedom of choice. What does the universe bring across your path?

Music, Movies, and Books

Not a big reader. Im more visual and hands on. I have a wide range of interests, bad "b" movies to old classics as well as action movies too. I also enjoy good conversation about personal experiences that have influenced ones life in a special way. I love all kinds of music, jazz, reggae, blues, world, classical anything that makes you feel good or get up and shake it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving takes the lead. The scariest part is right when you go up to the door and realize it's happening now!
Exploring the Oahu, jumping off huge cliffs into the ocean was a big thrill. Mountain biking on single track in the mountains has been some of the most spectacular views of nature.
Hang gliding was definitely something to remember also.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share experiences and create. Lets swap stories about life and your personal paradigm, while taking a bike ride or hanging out by a bonfire. Let's talk about what gives you joy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Loaner bike for a ride, kayak around the bay, maybe listen to a concert from kayak, bbq some fantastic grub, swap stories while checking out the area. If you like to paint, we could do that, I have plenty of supplies.
