Simple guy with a complex life. LOL. And a really cute dog. He keeps us together and sane. Been in LA for 20+ years, but still haven't been to Disneyland. Too practical to go, I guess. Not fooled by marketing, don't follow fads. If everyone is doing it, I'm probably not going to be interested. I don't drink (except a little wine on occasion), do drugs or spend a lot of money.

Unless it involves chocolate. Or peanut butter, my other vice. All bets are off on those two.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Other people are fascinating. I'm a good listener. Seems like a good combo.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't play favorites. It's too limiting. Except for chocolate. Only dark will do. And no caramel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped a lady overcome her sciatica in about 15 minutes (boy was she surprised) and another lady who thought she had a broken shoulder walked out of the hospital about 10 minutes after I worked on her. I also saved a guy's life once when he didn't realize he was bleeding because of the neuropathy in his foot.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know the human body detoxes every day from midnight to about noon the following day? Since it can't detox AND process food at the same time, eating the "most important meal of the day" before 10am pretty much nixes your body's ability to clean itself daily.

Nearly everyone you meet is therefore full of sh**. Seriously. Want to change your health for the better? Try switching out your morning omelet (or even worse, sausage McMuffin sandwich) with a spinach salad, and don't eat it until after 11:30am! Have to try it to believe it.

Don't forget to keep drinking coffee though. No one likes a crabby morning person. LOL

What I Can Share with Hosts

My sense of humor and timing when I tell jokes. Generally, I'm pretty funny. I'm a decent singer (baritone). Also, I make really good Swedish pancakes if you have the fixings. My most useful talent, though, is removing the invisible reasons a body won't heal on it's own.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Sweden
