Live in the mountains of CO west of Boulder with my family of 4 (2 younger girls) & a loving pit bull. Enjoy being social though spend a majority of time near home or in the woods.

Normally work from my home office on a computer, have a great neighborhood with a semi-private trail network that is slowly forming into a food forest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
