Married, no kids, love adventure, meeting people from many walks of life and all ages. I enjoy people in their 20s and 30s as much as the older generations. Currently on a work/travel adventure through Australia, working my way down the east coast from Airlie Beach.

My wife Becky has obligations and is happy to see me do this adventure on my own. :)

While I love language--writing, talking, sharing knowledge and experiences, and learning foreign languages--my favorite language is the language of the heart. I sense it in the stillness, in presence, and that is what I would love to share with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently on a work/travel adventure through Australia, traveling down the east coast from Airlie Beach. Seeking connections and conversations, amazing stories and skill sharing, positive experiences and memories with good-hearted people.

Interests

As an inspired, successful entrepreneur, I love learning and sharing knowledge and skills around the subject of small business and creative income.

I love genuine community however and wherever I find it. An important part of my journey will be assisting people in building healthy. supportive communities in three areas: personal, business, and consciousness/spirituality. When we enjoy strong, accepting social connections, mental and physical well-being abounds. There is good science that shows many of the markers for health and longevity improve when people feel accepted, loved, and appreciated. And there is simply no business more satisfying than when our clients resonate with our true selves, when we know they are part of our soul family. I look forward to working with people to build their ideal communities, social networks, and communities.

Finally, I have a strong interests in all the following: awareness, consciousness, law of attraction, heart presence meditation, Balanced View, Dzogchen, the great natural perfection, the way of Beauty, speaking circles, and the wisdom of the heart (Heartmath Institute).

Music, Movies, and Books

Wide tastes in music from Vivaldi and Mozart to the Beatles, Janis Joplin, and Coldplay. Folk music, Indian-style chanting (kirtans), and some New Age all inspire.

Favorite books: Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth," "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson, and "Who Would You Be Without Your Story" by Byron Katie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2013 I met my wife on Facebook; moved to Mount Isa, Australia; and married her. After we moved to Airlie Beach 6 months later, I faced the challenge of starting a business in this rather remote, small, resort town. (The business involves restoring glass--removing severe mineral buildup from shower screens and glass of all kinds.)

Teach, Learn, Share

Great stories, inspiration, and insights from wisdom traditions around the world.

Am actively seeking individuals who want to co-create their ideal communities and networks in any of three key areas: social, business, or consciousness/spirituality. Will be working with people, sponsoring events as a way of inviting to gather, get to know one another, and to begin reciprocal networking, sharing, and community building.

A simple, effective, master formula for small business and creative income.

Heart presence meditation

Speaking circles--a fun, gentle way to become comfortable with public speaking.
