I am a father of 4 boys, ages 9, 11, 15, 17 living on the Caribbean island of Anguilla. Anguilla has fantastic beaches.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We live on a small island and I think visitors will help my boys have a wider view of the world. When I grew up my parents often had "exchange students" visiting our home. I would like my boys to get exposed to people from other cultures.

Interests

I am working on a design for a solar powered boat that a family could live on:

Music, Movies, and Books

Not much music. Mostly watching popular American movies. Reading is non-fiction stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First person to provide email service to the country of Anguilla (1994).

Teach, Learn, Share

We have a 3D printer and have built a number of model boats.

When there are no guests this room is a "maker project room". So there are all kinds of things for building things.

You can hike along the beautiful coast for hours in either direction from our house. It is a rough rock so hiking boots are advised if you want to go far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a pool and deck area with this view. From our house it is just a 6 minute walk to a great beach. This same beach has good reefs for snorkeling. We have snorkeling equipment.
