CURRENT MISSION

To be the first surfer from Kansas to win a title. :)

ABOUT ME

At 33 years old I know myself pretty well now. I'm gregarious, but not afraid to be alone. After growing up in Kansas USA I have an intense desire to live on the water. I love all water sports. I used to be heavily into martial arts but surfing now seems to usurp that passion.

I don't smoke or do drugs but I do have the occasional libation. :P

I work on improving my vocabulary, something which can slip when you're surrounded by children who's native language is not English.

I'm a dilettante when it comes to music, photography, writing and cinema. Creativity will hit me in bursts but usually fade away for a hiatus. Still, I make the best what was given me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Everyone seems to be dying of cancer so get your kicks in before the whole place goes to hell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host and be hosted. Is that a question?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't actually slept on any couches yet but have made friends with couch surfers who were willing to meet when I went out at night. Nothing but excellent experiences.

Interests

Went out and partied with some girls I met on Couchsurfing in Bali, Indonesia. Fun and cute girls who made great company for dinner and dancing.

Heavy metal, dubstep, grindcore, any movies by Woody Allen and Michael Mann, Steven King, James Clavell and any biography I can get my hands on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've flown around the world twice. I've been to 4 different continents and close to 40 countries. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Drop everything and follow your passions. Don't listen to anyone tell you about the "what if's", everything will work out in the end and you won't be sorry you did it.
