CURRENT MISSION

Adventuring, Mischief, and Mayhem

ABOUT ME

I was put on this planet to lift large amounts of weight and eat my body's weight in meat every day.

Besides lifting large weights and carnivory, I like alcohol. Drinking large quantities is fun, but making it is more fun. I will try and ferment anything.

I like the ocean, but the mountains are fun too

I sink in water

My hair is red... not blond!

Ink is addictive... so... I have tattoos

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna Matata

Scuba divers go under to see what's there, freedivers go under to see what's inside themselves

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I know it says I've been a member since 2009, but I actually started couchsurfing under a group profile called the Pirate Ninjas. I was part the Pirate Ninja group profile from February 2007 to May 2008. We hosted over 40 people through couch surfing, and multiple others from the outside.

Host whomever I can at the moment, and hope to do some more surfing... preferably sooner rather than later

Interests

These days it's all about freediving and power lifting... but mostly freediving. I can hold my breath for over 5 and a half minutes and can dive down 199 feet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: Music

moving pictures frighten me

I like campfire stories... and tales of old

anybody know any ghost stories that are actually scary? I mean, when was the last time you were actually scared by a story?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can dive down so deep I can't see the surface of the water

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach making bows, arrows, armor, proper lifting form, controlled fermentation, how to wire a house, and how to hold your breath for a REALLY long time

I want to learn everything... EVERYTHING

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Peru
