I am married and have two children. I like to travel (though I don't as often as I would like to). I am hospitable and enjoy meeting new people. I have worked as a carpenter, architect, and designer for most of my adult and young adult life and I have also served in various ways in Christian ministry. I play classical guitar and enjoy theological reading/writing and philology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
