I feel lucky to have grown up in such a beautiful, dynamic state like Colorado, and I find it fun to show people around who also enjoy exploring special places on or off the beaten path. Not much of a social media person but I recognize it as necessary . Much prefer experiencing real and in person experiences.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I've been on couch surfing since 2015 and have hosted several travelers but have not done any couch surfing of my own yet. Hoping to change that soon. Hosting is a great way to meet new, fun, and interesting people. It’s also a good way to improve my travel karma in the meantime.
Music, Movies, and Books
Enjoy a wide variety of music. From folk and bluegrass to jazz to alternative, and progressive rock. Independent quirky movies, and how to books.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
23 day self guided raft trip through the Grand Canyon with friends and family.
Teach, Learn, Share
My knowledge of gardening, bonsai trees, wood working, all around handy man, self employed residential painter for well over 25 years now (have brush will travel), knowledge of the State of Colorado Rockies and desert canyon region.
What I Can Share With Hosts
My humble oasis, a private bedroom and bath, local knowledge, and with enough notice, maybe even one or two off or on the beaten path excursions to special places with enough notice :)
My Interests
Mountain biking, skiing, hiking, camping, art of bonsai, gardening, just about any thing that gets me outdoors. Cooking when I can find time.
