CURRENT MISSION

To become master of myself and purveyor of peace.

ABOUT ME

A fellow who is nothing but himself. Loquacious but often pensive, adventurous, spontaneous, and seeking joy. Folks get a kick out of my puns and quick wit but my best friends and I spend as much time just spending time.

PHILOSOPHY

My life, like all lives, has a purpose. I'm bound to find it. As I search for that purpose, I hope to find the pure joy in every moment and pass it along to anyone I meet. I believe that the higher power we are searching for is love and self- transcendence. We must be stewards of our earth and loving toward each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just found this outlet, looking to surf now, maybe host in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None with this site yet but I've stayed with various friends in parts of the country.

Interests

I dig jazz and folk music, hiking, distance running, poetry, debate, livin barefoot, eating heartily, and always striving to make people laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Words left me as I descended the trail from the rim of the Grand Canyon to the river. Also, holding my little sister as a newborn certainly made an impact on me.
