About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Find A Need And Fill It

ABOUT ME

I just finsihed a 2.5 year stint in Guatemala working out of Xela as a project engineer for a small grassroots company. We design and build biogas plant for people to use for cooking fuel as well as fertilizer. I used to be a fishing guide in British Columbia for 4 years at a lodge way up in the wilderness.

PHILOSOPHY

Find a need and fill it
and do what you can with what you have where you are

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I get back to canada, you'll have to come out and I'll show you around. Nobody knows the hills of western Alberta better than me. I spent my entire first 23 years on earth somewhere out in the forest and thats where I feel at home
