Born in 1946, moved around a lot as a kid, spent 12 years with the USMC
as an infantry officer. Very involved with Kiwanis and with the Civil Air Patrol. I retired at age 75, was a business owner in Venice, Florida. Married with four grown sons, three daughters in law and four grandkids. I travel a lot, having visited some 30 countries, and hope to exchange visits with some of the friends that have visited my home.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I enjoy hosting folks from other countries and different cultures.
My #4 son got me interested in hosting, and I have enjoyed the interaction.
