I'm back in school to earn a bachelor's in photojournalism. I'm married with 4 kids grown and out of the house. My wife, Yvonne and I have three dogs, three cats and one parrot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find a place to crash and shower in the morning. Always enjoy meeting new friends.

Interests

I love animals, photography, writing, reading, cooking, surfing the 'net and watching TV. I'm also an avid motorcyclist. My bike is a '07 BMW R1200GS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raise some great kids, better than I was raised and turned out better than I did!

Teach, Learn, Share

That anyone can be cool. I'm legally deaf and have been since birth. I have perfect speech, no detectable hint of a southern twang! I can teach some basic sign language, how to do basic home repairs and how to drive expertly.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm handy around the house if you have tools and pay for the parts. I'm also Comp-Tia A+ certified so I can fix / replace anything on a desktop computer. I also work on cars and motorcycles too. I'm a pretty good cook too!
