CURRENT MISSION To teach people how to make fire by rubbing sticks together! ABOUT ME I love to have fun, I adore my friends, and I consider myself a keen observer of the human condition. On any given day, you might find me at a music festival…dipping into hot springs…running on muddy trails under a drizzling Oregon sky…drinking beer with my friends…gallivanting to some remote part of the world like Turkmenistan…or falling asleep to TV on my couch. I’m pretty passionate about life…I relish having many different kinds of experiences…and I value being a good friend to others. I’ve had my feet in some vastly different worlds, having worked as a pilot, wilderness camp instructor, international peacekeeper, and professional photographer. PHILOSOPHY To be a respectful, considerate, trustworthy, responsible traveler and couchsurfer!
