Just got done sailing the Caribbean with my team for four months from Guatemala to Isla Mujeres, Mexico.

Most people know me as a jovial and goofy.

As my Grandpa Howard always told me: "You can learn something from anyone in this world," so let's learn and explore while we can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people from all walks of life, especially those with a story.

I grew up in Michigan and lived all over Western Europe for 12 years an ex-pro athlete and now am starting to sail around the world with a new tribe of unconventional Americans and foreigners.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read weird things and am addicted to quotes that make you rephrase the letters, words, and sentences of your own story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sharks, that was memorable, mostly because I was worried about my limbs being chewed off.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a professional basketball player and personal trainer so I can teach kids, or adults, how to get fit and get better with their sport. I am handy and love manual labor. I coach people for a living and love to teach financial independence through residual passive income investing!

I am truly grateful for my life and my experiences.
