I've started 6 different company over the past 13 years each with several distinct achievements, but eventually they all became too money driven for me.

I'm turning my efforts now to forming a non-profit that will teach people in developing countries how to create and setup sustainable businesses rather than just depending on foreign aid.

I have a beautiful wife and 3 kids. We're currently separated, but are working to come back together. She and the kids are in Boise and it's my desire to be close to them and to my work.

I'm tidy and clean by nature, and I am generally an introvert but my love for people confused everyone into believing I'm actually an extrovert. (Don't worry, I'll fool you too!).

I hope to meet new people and make a difference in their lives as they make a difference in mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Saving $ to pay off my car faster, save for a house, etc.

Interests

I often tell others, My passion is people. In all the companies I started I never lost sight of this one thing: The people are what make the organization great, or the product great. Not the other way around.

• people
• self development
• self-improvement
• motivation

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky-Dived from 13,000 feet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone how to start a business, set up a legal entity (LLC), set them up with an affordable yet excellent accountant, and teach them how to be profitable in their business from Day 1!

I would LOVE to learn Chinese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've read a LOT of books about business, and spent countless time and money on self development education. As well as formed 6 different companies over the past 13 years. If you want to start a business idea, I am the one guy you want to talk to!

Also, I'm super neat and tidy and keep to myself unless you want to talk in which case I'm a gratifying conversationalist.
