My wife, Barb, and I live in a quiet suburb of Indianapolis, about 30 minutes from downtown. We have six children, the youngest just reaching driving age. I am phasing out of work and aim to explore the world. Barb will join me when she retires some day from her corporate work. I aspire to be a liberal-minded explorer. I am curious to meet people of all kinds to learn about their life experiences. I have adopted boxing as a sport later in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled Southeast Asia for 2 months with my daughter in 2013. I don't know how amazing it was, but it amazed me how much I learned about life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught philosophy and practiced law for many years. This became my world. Now I see my experience as a bubble of limited perspective. I want to learn about other ways of life outside the American professional middle class.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sincere interest. Stories. Humor and creativity.
