CURRENT MISSION

Working on buying businesses

ABOUT ME

Looking forward to the autumn and making things happen. Truly learn the art of sales this month, prepare, practice and take action! More like ready, fire, aim! In between businesses right now looking to buy into something bigger and better. I done marketing and sales and looking to get into the retail market for bicycles. Dorel, you're in my cross hairs.

I also play ultimate frisbee, mountain bike and listen to loads of music! I like to go to shows, sail and when the occasion occurs, snowboard.

Check out my tunes!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be stuck doing things you hate, or even things you dislike. You gotta get out and follow that passion. We always have a choice and doing something that makes your life better makes us all happier. I like finding balance in myself and in the people I meet. Keep in mind that there is always an extreme and balance can have elements of the extreme as well...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't actually shared my couch for a long time. Married and adding a little guy to the fam at the moment. Surfing ain't no fun with a buzz saw howler in your ear. I'll have to wait until we get a bigger place to participate again. :(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Kiwi people are the best at couch surfing and offering! Met and talked with a guy in Murchison in NZ at a New Years party with about 100 paddlers and he gave me his key to stay at his place is Christchurch even though he wasn't going to be there! Thanks Warrick and Aroha! You were awesome inviting a Canuck into your midst.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Either the Coromandel Peninsula or the Catlins in New Zealand, both with spectacular natural beauty with rarities I have not seen elsewhere. Never mind the yummy u-pick shell fish. Spot on!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to throw a fore hand flick for ultimate frisbee. Or teach you how to mountain bike. Or delve into your mind and figure out what kind of music you like. Or how to get out of the financial Rat Race with a game I have. And sooner than later, I will be able to play bocce ball with you too...
