Loving father, poet king, peaceful warrior, community builder.

Recently returned to the Couchsurfing community after many years of being away to focus on family and business.

For many years I made my living as a professional speaker and leadership development coach. I hosted an international event that gathered thought leaders from around the world, and developed a beautiful community of heart-centered humans. Once covid hit, I shifted gears to focus on writing, nurturing my children, and developing a local community that values sustainability, integrity, personal sovereignty and natural living.

Now looking to connect with open hearted people who value relationships, fresh air, and wisdom.

I’m happy to bring my gifts to appreciate your hospitality. ❤️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After graduating high school, I hitchhiked all over the east coast of Canada and the USA. I surfed a lot of couches of friends I made along the way. Since then, I have always went out of my way to house random travelers, including several that became long term roommates.

I prefer genuine human connection and investing in relationships over supporting corporate interests. I’d rather put my energy and gifts into blessing human lives than lining corporate bank accounts.

Freely we give, freely we receive.

Music, Movies, and Books

I write extensively, I’d love to share some of my art with you.
I am fascinated with archetypal human journeys and the power of a good story, told well, whether in book, movie or just sitting around a fire or a table.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have loved, and have been loved... What else matters?

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an extensive career path covering many fields and I’m happy to lend my expertise or perspective in service to you.

I also have studied health and wellness throughout my life (including a world record in athletics) and love sharing as much as I do learning.

My primary value in life has been truth and I’ve walked a spirit-led path. I’ve journeyed deeply with sacred plant medicine and endeavoured to integrate any spiritual truths I’ve found in deeply pragmatic ways. I’ve learned that the fruits of our lives are far more important than our professed beliefs, so I tend to get along well with anyone with a genuine heart and a sincere desire to understand others.

Maybe we can be friends and learn from one another?
