CURRENT MISSION

meet new folks, spread my word, and hear new ones

ABOUT ME

I ride and build bikes, build and drive Jeeps, dumpster dive, and listen to records. I have lots of collections in my small house..books, records, military stuff, and lots of other things. I enjoy coffee in the morning and beer in the afternoon. My dog is the coolest, my daughter is the smartest, and I am proud of them both. I am into tattoos and traditional style of inkwork. I have been described as a penny pincer, but I am never without of what I need. I work hard for my money so I spend it wisely and my time is valuable and I spend that wisely, too.

two words: RISE ABOVE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted several folks and have had offers to stay on others couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really enjoy hosting people because it is a way for me to meet and hang out with people.
