Laid back, friendly. I enjoy being outside, camping, hiking, skiing, meeting new people, and soaking in life. Travel is fun too.

I've been fortunate enough to do a fair bit of travel, not as much as some though. I enjoy sharing stories and just hanging out.

I love reading and intellectual discussions. Philosophy is the most useful and underrated subject, and I am convinced things would be better in this country if more people studied it and learned how to apply it to their lives.

Life is wonderful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked on a ranch in Wyoming as a cowboy. This ranch helped recovering drug addicts. It was a wonderful and intense experience. I have the greatest respect for people who are able to quit an addiction because it is not at all easy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I live to learn new things and have great conversations.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My music skills? I can play some mediocre guitar. I enjoy it so I guess that's what counts the most.
