ABOUT ME

We are going to be out of town Memorial Day weekend. Have a lovely time at Movement folks - sorry we won't be able to host you.

I work as a human capital consultant. My wife works is a social worker at a Detroit school. We bought a very large house in New Center Detroit and have been fixing up, remodeling and restoring it. It's mostly done now. It'll never really be done. I think that's just how (old) houses go.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in living as much as possible to increase the fullness of my life and and that of others around me, especially those most vulnerable, in need and at-risk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've got some extra space, folks need somewhere to sleep, that's how it goes. We adventure around occasionally and enjoy meeting new people and crashing on the cheap, so it goes that way sometimes too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Between the two of us, there's always some kind of adventure . . . road tripping all the way across the US together (twice), daily being friends with street kids in Peru, wandering the streets of Paris, swimming in remote Central American jungle streams, hiking the Dogon cliffs of Mali, or just simple backpacking or camping trips in some wilderness area . . . life is good . . .
