CURRENT MISSION

To improve the lives of anyone who happens to cross my path in life, and leave GREAT lifelong memories in my wake

ABOUT ME

I have been blessed with many things in my life. Family and an upbringing based in solid morals. Friends. Career. Home. Love. I like to be a positive energy for those around me at all times. I LIVE to make people laugh, often times at my own expense! I am easily approachable, and not shy to introduce myself to anyone. Sometimes a GREAT new friendship can be started with just a smile. I am not egotistical by any stretch, but I can safely say I am pretty much loved universally wherever I go. I'll be the first one to point out my personal flaws, but also the first one to tell you about my blessings. I have a certain unique spirit that, for whatever reason(s), seems to enable me to attract just the BEST people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in treating people with respect. The way you would want to be treated. I always think about OTHERS before myself. I believe you get what you give, for the most part, and that people are generally well meaning and good hearted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never had a Couchsurfing experience. I have heard about it for a few years now, and I have never had the need to attempt to implement it until now. I have had similiar type experiences with ride shares for long distance road trips, and in this way acquired MANY lifelong friends. Alot of whom I still see and hang out with on a semi-regular basis...

Interests

My love in life is: THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. To me? It's the Reese's Peanutbuttercup of my life: THREE great things that work oh so well together...

LIVE MUSIC
CAMPING
THE PARTY

I love live music! And I LOVE meeting new people! I am often times main person organizing large groups of people from all over the country to join me for some music festival or another over the course of every summer. All people I have met over the years...It really is something to put the word out that you'll be at one particular festival, with a "Who's in?", and having these AMAZING friends all chime in. Three from upper state NY...Four from Lafayette, LA...Four from Jacksonville, FL...All coming together with myself as the only hub between them. I love introducing soooooo many GOOD PEOPLE from these different "tribes" who would have NEVER in a million years have met, if not for me connecting the dots...

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical tatses are all over the map, but...I grew up with the Classic Rock soundtrack from my older brothers (The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd), but delved into Hard Rock when I was coming of age (Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica). As a young man, I bridged the gao between Hard Rock and "Alternative" with bands like The Cure, Nine Inch Nails & Jane's Addiction, and from that point on, my tastes in music just EXPLODED to include all different styles! Now, I love Seal and Sade just as much as anything else. I guess I'm kind of a softy romantic now in my old age :)
