I'm a recovering tobacconist who needs a heart transplant due to my genetics. When I'm not at a doctors appointment, I work as a back office manager for the largest international supermarket in West Michigan. I really am the personal secretary to four Jordanian men who call me hun. I love dogs... a lot. I have four cats. I've lived in China and India with my wife Nicolette.

My house is an Christian intentional community and there are four of us with a spare bedroom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love people and people are interesting. Way more interesting than a hotel.
