I've lived in Moab, Utah since 1994. I built and live in a strawbale house in a car-less neighborhood. I love sharing my home, meeting new people and having company!

I love spending time outside, am an avid bike commuter, love animals and hacking life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people and am interested in traveling more myself. This seems like a great way to meet and host people, which I love doing. And, in return, I would love to get the "local in" wherever I am traveling and save a little money.

I love connecting with people and seeing what others are up to and what they're thinking about, striving for, struggling with and succeeding in!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built my house.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy and eager to share my knowledge of the Moab area: where to hike, ride bikes, eat, when to visit, political and environmental issues we're facing, introduce you to my friends and help you make connections, if that seems appropriate, etc.

I know a lot about natural building and gardening, am big into personal growth and spirituality. I practice yoga but I am not a yoga teacher.
