About Me

Am a single dad of 5 children who are with me 50% of the time and love to travel. I have space every other week for 4 people to crash at my apartment. With Sundance and Salt Lake City less than an hour away there many great sites to see.

I was visiting St George at a visiting center for a local attraction when a bus full of French speakers piled out. I immediately approached them and started talking to them in French and enjoying their stories and energy as I welcomed them to St George. It was such a powerful, amazing thing to behold! I had been in France and never had I felt such fun and thrilling energy from the French people when there and I realized that while on vacation they were relaxed and stress free and were happy.

Whenever I enter a room I don't see a room of strangers but a room full of future friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and experience the local feel of all the places I visit not the tourist traps set up to showcase what the man wants you to see.

I want to experience the local food, sites and sounds!

Music, Movies, and Books

All music, movies, and books are amazing in their own way and I am open for all but if I had to pinpoint one of each I would say 90s music, Princess Bride, and The Anatomy of Peace.
