    Hi! Let me know how I can help you...

    I'm hoping to take my time, energy and experience, provide as much help as needed, meet new people, learn new things, and make new memories. I hike and swim, enjoy camping, and being outdoors, enjoying the sea, forests, beautiful skies.

    I'm a 55 year old father of three grown children, in good health. My career has been in IT, but I'm also a musician and photographer, and these have been life-long passions for me.

    I've experienced a variety of living situations, and consider myself pretty adaptable. I tend to learn and take on new things pretty quickly. I like being social and meeting new people, but as well, I'm good on my own, and put aside important time to recharge.

    I try to operate by the idea of CCR that I taught my kids - Courtesy, Consideration, and Respect. CCR for every person, regardless of orientation or background, and it is a two-way street.

    The older generations of my family in California have been farm workers, and I learned a strong work ethic from early on. I've always had some sort of job since I was 13, and I have firsthand knowledge of being up a ladder, in 40C heat, picking fruit.

    I've had a number of adventures, quitting jobs and trying to travel the US with a friend, in a campervan; as a musician, working on music for professional skate videos, playing in bands and playing at clubs in San Francisco and at Skywalker Ranch; and spontaneously answering a corkboard advert for a rideshare to Mardi Gras. Which is all to say, my life has been charted, and deeply affected, by the travels I've embarked on, and the various people I've been fortunate to be connected with.

    I want to use my knowledge, experience and time to help and contribute however I can, to hosts all over. I'm really excited for new adventures and experiences, big and small. I'm looking forward to discovering different places, and meeting new people.

  • More details about your skills

    - Raising 3 children, I've had experience with the accompanying challenges, including time management, dealing with different personalities, and juggling priorities - which also have translated well to a professional setting.
    - I've worked in IT for a good while, which keeps me up on my problem solving skills, as well as working with technology.
    - I can help with photography and music related projects.
    - I like cooking, and making nightly dinners for kids is great practice for imagination and ingenuity.
    - The last place I lived at had 1/3 of an acre of garden, which required mowing, weeding, pruning, general maintenance and tree cleanup. I enjoyed the garden, working outdoors was therapeutic, and I had a number of years tending that garden.
    - I've built some furniture, out of necessity but no training; things like desks, shelves, storage. So I can be somewhat handy.
