CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to surf and share experience with good people. Enjoy life. Stand on top of ocean waves. Create music with other people. Make and share art. Smile.

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed person. I like to be outside. I try to be as generous as I can be. I like to cook delicious things. I try to diffuse tense situations for myself and other people.

PHILOSOPHY

Be respectful. Be good on the body. Don't talk bad about other people. Be as positive as possible. Be negative when appropriate. Have fun! Keep moving.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done: sing while playing the guitar. Simple, but it makes me feel good.

One amazing thing I've seen: the inside of a breaking ocean wave.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I can teach something to other people I'm gonna teach what I know. I know a little about photography, drawing, guitar, surfing, stretching, plants. If I'm gonna learn something it's gonna be what I don't know, there's a lot I don't know. If I'm gonna share something, just take it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, a good meal, some money for gas if we can drive to the beach. Above all, cleanliness, respect, and a positive mental attitude.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Myanmar, Nepal, Netherlands, Panama, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Wales
