CURRENT MISSION

To be the good father and man I hope to be. To live by the words, "All are Welcome"

ABOUT ME

I have worked as a Scientist, Youth Minister, Financial Worker, Computer Technician, Crisis Intervention Specialist, Research Associate, and Psychiatric Counselor and now as a disabled Artist, Stage & Film Actor. I am an Extroverted under-cover comedian at heart.

I travel like Bear Grylls !
You are a hardcore traveler with a stomach of steel, and you'll eat a grub out of a tree long before you are even hungry. You can't remember the last time you showered, but you still look good.

PHILOSOPHY

Think Salvador Dali and Santa Claus.
With a neck brace and cane.
Singing and making balloon animals.
Meditating while cracking jokes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy helping people and having them laugh aloud when I work. I perform with balloon animals at community events. I learn more from each person that I meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in the Day, I traveled through the United States and Canada by hitchhiking. I had a great experience with other protesters while they stayed with me during the Republican Convention in 2008.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

**When 14 years old, my brother and I biked 1,300 miles to and through the Black Hills and Badlands in South Dakota, USA.

**When 16, I was scientific assistant with the Purdue University Biomedical Renal Research Team in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. The Life Sciences program was sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Teach, Learn, Share

My love for art began when I was a child, fascinated by colors of nature, skies, and especially manned spaceflight. For many years, I just made art for a hobby.
