CURRENT MISSION

Step 1: Ski, Step 2: ???, Step 3: Profit!

ABOUT ME

I'm outdoor oriented but not as hard-core as many of the people who live here are. Skiing isn't so much of a hobby of mine as it is a religion. I collect knowledge the way someone might collect stamps or comic books. I'm a nerd.

PHILOSOPHY

I wish I could say that I didn't have one but that would be a personal philosophy, now wouldn't it?

Seriously, I have no fixed philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm taking a leap of faith here and guessing that by providing a couch I might somehow be advancing the goals of the CS2 project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a great time so far hosting and hanging out with other couch surfers. This community is amazing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once told an impromptu story for a bar audience and it resulted in me busking enough money to buy me more beer.

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowledge is free. My knowledge of Whistler is both free and valuable to any couch surfer. My knowledge of everything else is free too but it tends to cause the victims of my advice and lectures to bleed from the ears.
