About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World and Broaden my Horizons.

ABOUT ME

Hmm.. well I am a 37 year old American. I like to take chances in hopes that i can grow in my life and rack up some cool stories along the way. I enjoy the idea of traveling around the world. I have been many places inside the USA but i want to see the world as a whole.

I am a business owner, and i like the freedom that it allows. My ultimate goal is to make a product of my own that has some sort of global need.

Anyway.. if you would like to know more about me... let me know!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make of it. Too many people do not realize that they themselves are their own biggest roadblock to having a truly amazing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just heard about this group from my friend Ryan. it sounded interesting so here i am. I have to take a trip to Hong Kong so i figured this would be a interesting way to spend my time while i am there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling thru Shanghai i have surfed a few couches!

Interests

Music, Scuba diving, Traveling, The tropics (it bugs me that there is a beautiful quiet beach out there somewhere i have not seen, simply waiting for me)
I enjoy talking, walking, swimming and sitting with friends laughing and having a beer. I am a easy going guy i guess, but i am also active. I enjoy exercise and go to the gym regularly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have started a business on my own and fought for every inch thru tough times. I have lived on a yacht in the carribean and worked as a firefighter. I have picked up and moved to china to focus on my company. I think some of these things are pretty amazing.
