About Me

CURRENT MISSION

...to fill this fleeting life with adventures, activities and experiences. Having a goal and a plan for reaching it is important, but make the most of the journey to each destination and then reflect on the entire experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician, martial artist, liberal activist, blogger, jack-of-many trades - I guess I tend to spread my chips around instead of putting 'em all on 27 black.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all here on this earth to co-exist and help each other make this experience (life) as full as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy meeting people. I feel that networking with as large a group as possible helps us to meet our needs and makes us available to help others meet theirs.

Interests

Music (creating, listening & playing - I play well with others), martial arts, adventures, traveling, reading, conversating (yeah, I actually heard a lawyer use it once, so now I've adopted it).

Music, Movies, and Books

Avatar, V For Vendetta, Grand Canyon, Dogma, progressive & classic rock, bluegrass, dynamic music with heavy guitars and solid rhythm that grabs me by the ears, Baldacci, Lustbader, Brown, DeMille, Lakoff, Grisham (well, the Grisham books that AREN'T about lawyers...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowmobiling on a glacier in Iceland!
Life is amazing and I'm constantly meeting amazing people and doing new and exciting things. Let's keep it going!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach & learn martial arts, music, construction. I also look for opportunities to share my feelings & philosophy about the direction of the human condition - from life experiences & from observing what people do and what are their motivations - with anyone willing to participate.
