PHILOSOPHY

Less thought, more action. You only regret the things you don't do. You can't win if you don't play.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm helpful by nature and don't feel like I fit in if I'm not making a contribution. I can fix or make just about anything. I make things better!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've yet to couch surf and I'm looking forward to checking it out this time around.

Interests

Immersing myself in new cultures. Reading, traveling, beaches, tasty food!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove a motorcycle from Boston, MA to Panama. Rode a raft down the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon. Backpacked across Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Turkey and Iceland. Backpacked from Ulaanbaatar to Mumbai. I've been to Burning Man 10 times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a tool user. I've been making and fixing things for decades. I'm a classically trained jeweler. My passion is in people management and sustainable business practices. I've worked in IT for 20 years. I have extensive experience with the care and feeding of volunteers. I'm very well read and can converse on a large variety of topics. I love a good argument.
