I am a divorced father of four wonderful children. My oldest son graduated from Appalachian State in Boone, NC and is currently in Colorado. My oldest daughter is a senior at College of Charleston. I have a 12 year old daughter and 10 year old son living in Charleston. I have been an environmental engineer for 27 years and have a consulting business. My two youngest children have many health and special needs and that has had a tremendous impact on my life. I recently became an insurance agent to help others deal with major health concerns. I have a strong spirituality and family that is my foundation in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a great deal for work now. My oldest son has been on a similar site and has taken the opportunity to visit many areas and meet new people. He has opened my eyes to couchsurfing. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about the best of the area from the locals.

Interests

I enjoy staying fit. I run and bike. I enjoy tennis and golf too. I love to hike in nature...state parks, mountains, anywhere I can just enjoy the beauty of God's creation. I love the beach and running on the beach. I love to watch sunsets with a good glass of wine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the profile trail at Grandfather Mountain with my oldest son who is a hiking guide in Colorado. He was amazed his "old man" was in such good shape and had no problem with one of the toughest trails on the mountain!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very courteous and respectful of my hosts. I am very easy going, easy to talk to, and appreciate the simple things in life. I want to help out however possible...fix something if needed, be a running buddy, or just a good listener.
