I'm married. We have two wonderful teenage kids. I love to travel and learn about new cultures and history. I also work with foreign exchange students as a coordinator. I'm a high school teacher as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I love to meet the locals. They always know the best spots to go and where to avoid.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a variety of movies. Some of my favorites are the Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, the Notebook, Passengers, Avatar, I am David...
My fav books are too lengthy to list but genre would have to be fantasy although I do enjoy a good historical fiction too.
My taste in music is varied as well. I like most types except ones where I can't understand the words.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No one believes that I've done this but Skydiving was amazing. We even did a back flip out of the plane.

Many short term mission trips to orphanages, feeding stations, schools in Honduras and Dominican Republic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach or share about the real American culture (not what's in the movies), English, and foreign exchange programs.
I would like to learn more French, about other cultures, history, and non tourists places to visit or hangout.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my culture and language, a good meal or conversations.
