I'm a graduate student pursuing a Masters of Science (Ms) in Biomimicry degree online with Arizona State University while traveling. I've had the opportunity to live and travel in many places throughout the Americas, Europe, and Middle East. I'm a USMC combat veteran, former US diplomat and non-profit Executive Director. I'm an aspiring social entrepreneur determined to create a more equitable, harmonious, and compassionate world for all life on Planet Earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm seeking a place to stay in the San Francisco area while I'm driving Lyft in the city, March-May 2016, to pay for graduate school.

Interests

I'm an active meditator, mindfulness practitioner, and enjoy yoga. I love the transformation music festival scene.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked 1,700 miles across California in 2015 over five months. Check out the website I created for the journey: pattern-seeker.com

Teach, Learn, Share

We can talk about the mysterious of the Universe, experience at war or as a spy overseas, life as a traveling musican, transcendent love, or how I'm going to use biomimicry (the conscious emulation of nature's genius) to make a positive impact on the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help around the place, cook vegetarian meals, emanate positive vibes, meditate with you or your pet, run errands, or give you a Lyft in my car.
