CURRENT MISSION

Have a good time and take care of my friends and family

ABOUT ME

The quick and dirty: I spent the first 17 yrs of my life growing up on small island on the BC coast. It's a pretty rad place, until you get bored of building tree forts and building jumps for your bmx bike.
I joined the military after grad and became a helicopter pilot - lots of pros and cons to that choice. It's been an experience, that's for sure. I'm super good at push-ups now, and every once in a while I get to fly a heli.
As of now, I am living a working in Eddy, which works out well for now. Most my days off are spent in the Rockies mtn biking, hiking, or snowboarding. Any chance I get to wander off to the mountains, I take it. So If you need any recommendations for stuff to do in the mtns, I got some ideas.
Uhhh, what else... I like mustard, and spicey tuna rolls. Whatever.

PHILOSOPHY

Work to live, not live to work.
The man with the most stories wins
Take care of your family, friends, yourself, and each other
We are here for a good time, not a long time

Having almost lost my life on at least 5 different occasions, I try and remind myself that it is wise to make the most of each day. Sometimes I fail at that, and it bugs me.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, I've been a bad couchsurfer. It's been hard to offer up my couch as I am away from home about 90% of the time, which also makes meeting up with people and showing around the city a bit difficult as well. However, If the stars align, I am actually in town, I'm not on a retarded schedule, and you wanna meet up for a beer, coffee or whatever, then shoot me a line and we'll make'r happen.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've meet a couple genuine characters so far during this couch surfing experience. Good conversations, parties, and road trips; and I look forward to continuing that trend.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

So many to choose from. Most recently, Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert in Kiev was out-of-this-world awesome. My entire trip in Iceland was quite a surreal experience. Turkey will forever be burned to memory. Road trip down the Baja was a life changing experience. New Yrs Eve in Santa Catalina, Panama, was a total surprise. Cloud surfing with the Harvard II was a rare opportunity.
