ABOUT ME

I am 48 but act somewhere between 25-30 in my private life and 50+ in my business life. I travel a lot in the US for work and elsewhere for fun. I love Champagne!! I'm a gourmet cook and appreciate great food from Star restaurants as much as I do great street food that makes your mouth water when you smell it cooking. I love living in Downtown Dallas in the middle of everything. I am an avid art collector and love modern art equally to great colorful street graffiti art. I could sleep in the sun at the pool or at the beach all summer.

PHILOSOPHY

Ask when you need. Give when you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to give a little back for all of the people and families that posted notes in train and bus stations 20 years ago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friends and I went to Europe and Mexico during college breaks and summers before the web made it easier and safer.

Interests

Art. I am on/off/on/off the Acquisitions Committee for the Modern Art Museum in Ft. Worth. Love it! Good food & great food. Big Texas Steaks and Sushi. Cold Martinis and the perfect Margarita. I'm slowly teaching myself to play Flamenco style guitar after being inspired in Spain. Auto racing - It's a testosterone thing! 24 hours of Le Mans is my favorite. Soccer/European Football. Real Madrid! Gol!!! Shopping, of course! Paris sales 2 times a year!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Blade Runner is my favorite movie of all time! Buddha Bar music plays in the background in the house, but The Black Keys at volume 10 in the car.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a year sabbatical from a professional career to travel through Europe, drink wine and eat everything I possibly could just a few years ago. I am also a very, very proud and happy cancer survivor.
