**Please give me at least a few days' notice! If you fly in and request to surf the same day, chances are I won't get to your email immediately. Also, www.priceline.com offers rental cars around $18/day. Look into renting from the airport and then driving on over to my place. Saves you time and money!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fort Irwin, CA - Guard duty on a mountain watching 30,000 troops engage in a mock battle at midnight.
Portland, OR - Car surfing at midnight on a windy back road with no moon.

Teach, Learn, Share

My motto is learn, adapt, excel.

I love theological and political conversations and seeing other people's perspective on things. In return, I hope to provide historical, philosophical and cultural knowledge to those interested. Accompanied with respect, a cold beer and momentary acts of pondering.
