Retired educator. Lived 20 years in the US, 5 years in US military (Intelligence, communications), 20 years in Japan, and 20 years on the left coast of the United States.

Married 20 years. (Lots of 20s) ... 20 children. Just kidding. I have two sons and a daughter = my real hero.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Turning 70 this year. I did some couch surfing on my pilgrimage from Canterbury, UK to Vatican City.

Besides the personal challenge/pilgrimage, we raised awareness to build a dormitory for 60 girls we have rescued from the jungles in deep India. Please, please asked me about this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I may be partially if not fully responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union. I watched the Berlin Walls being torn down from within the Soviet Union.

I was once whooshed away by the KGB to meet a witch in the middle of the night after teaching a class at a university in the Far East of Russia. No kidding.
