My best friends would probably say that I'm an easy-going, caring friend who loves music and the outdoors. They'd probably add that I'm a deep thinker who also loves to talk, laugh, and be active. Most people who know me would also say that I'm married to a wonderful woman who gave birth to our two active boys, all of whom I love more than anything else on the planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had wonderful experiences meeting new people both as a host and as a guest. I love the trust, interconnectedness, and sense of humanity that Couchsurfing represents.

Interests

I love the outdoors, hiking, biking, swimming, boating, etc. I regularly seek out new music, especially music from other countries and cultures; it is such an interesting way of learning about people. I enjoy poetry, songs, kind people, and interesting food.
