CURRENT MISSION

Share with others and cook for friends whenever possible.

ABOUT ME

Former Marine and my sister is former Navy.

Grew up in North Buffalo when you could hear the lions roar all the way down Parkside. Then someone had to complain... and they moved the giraffes to the lions den. Of course, they moved the lions before they moved the giraffes in.

I'm a trained musician (classical and jazz) and went to school for design... although I spend more time with writers and photographers than anyone else.

Love "LIVE" music, art galleries, and dinner out...even though I grew up in the restaurant business... I like to try different styles of food preparation.

We're pretty positive people... like to enjoy and share what we know.

PHILOSOPHY

We're all going to the same place so leave some breadcrumbs behind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to participate as a traveler first because I want to move back to Buffalo.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't surfed before but I've travelled quite a bit. My sister has travelled more than I have in many other countries but we've lived in Italy and she's got GREAT stories. They're funny.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to share information. My sister and I generally travel together and she's in the learning business so she has a lot of knowledge about learning styles. We can talk just about any subject ...not that we have an opinion about each one but its great to hear what other people think and believe. Just because you don't believe what I do doesn't mean we can't be friends. I'm a firm believer that too much news is too much fear. Just be and be open.
