I've been working with startups for a bunch of years. Started a few companies - solar, online magazine focusing on contemporary green lifestyle. I love social and tech innovation and transparency; the discovery, disruption and creation. Of the opinion we’ve evolved enough to know we know we have to change business as usual. We can all succeed, a.k.a., win-win. Meditate daily. Love good beer. Respect all living things. Love to have a good time (is that redundant?). Automatically look for the good in things (well, I do my best).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love traveling, but haven't done enough lately. Value the book Vagabonding by Rolf Potts. Always wanted to join couchsurfing, but never did. Been married a few years now, so rarely travel alone. I am now for some volunteer work I am doing. Figured, now was the time!
