I'm a lifelong resident of Dallas, TX, fun and lighthearted. I spend most of my time away from work volunteering, learning new skills, and playing games with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I need to travel to continue advanced training for my volunteer work, but I don't have the cash to stay in hotels!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Book: Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon, though I love reading just about anything--fantasy, sci fi, history, leadership & professional development. etc.

Movies: love the older stuff like Ferris Bueller & Office Space, and particularly fond of action films and dramas. Not a big fan of "chick flicks" but I can go with the flow if I'm in a group.

Music: Anything at all *except* country; my favorites range from dance music to Beethoven and everything in between.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Dedicating my life to the service of others, through the Red Cross, CERT, Civil Air Patrol, etc. That has enabled me to learn so much, to meet people I never would have met in "normal" life, and generally be a better person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an experienced disaster responder with the Red Cross and have served on tornado, hurricane, flooding, and other types of operations. I'm SARTECH II (search and rescue) certified and always looking to improve my outdoor skills. And I can learn from anyone--always looking for new experiences and new skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fun attitude, hopefully a few good stories and some laughs.

Countries I’ve Visited

Mexico, Spain
