I'm an NC native, and Engineering graduate of North Carolina State University. I study music and play and develop immersive and interactive software for game consoles, PCs and VR/AR/MR and other Spatial computing (XR) devices through my company Legendary Gameworks.

Just like everyone else, I thought that the best thing to do when I graduated with my degrees was to immediately go do something else. I started working for myself right out of school with allegedly "no money" and "no experience" instead of being a well paid indentured engineer for a large company. ... and then two years later ended up working as an indentured engineer for a large company in addition to running my own company :/.

I like to explore and create. Curiosity and industry has driven me to learn many skills, meet many people and do many things. I create things, including virtual worlds and interactive experiences (read: virtual reality apps and video games) and other arts and in order to make my work remarkable and true to Life I aim to explore everything that Life has to offer. I am currently looking to publish my first of almost four volumes of poetry, and am also trying to find investors for my company's current product, called XRKey.

In full transparency, I'm currently with my partner Emma Sheedy in Morrisville who is also a local CS host (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/emmasheedy).

I keep myself moving, so apologies in advance if it takes me forever to get back to you or I'm notoriously difficult to get a hold of.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like to explore, and I'm always open to new experiences. The Couchsurfing community as I know it consists of individuals from many different backgrounds and perspectives. Getting to know these perspectives allows me to experience the world in ways I may not be able to otherwise, and allows me an opportunity to share my perspective with those who might likewise want to broaden their view of the world and the people in it.

I have a goal of seeing all 50 of the United States State Capitals as well as get to major landmarks in this and other countries around the world. I also wish to establish a profitable and stable enterprise for myself and other like-minded, hardworking people. Because life is often about who you know, and because true wisdom can only come from knowing thyself and others, I want to explore and expand my understanding of others and the world as a whole.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've seen the most amazing smiles on peoples' faces and heard delightful laughs of people, which I believe is far more valuable than anything else I've done.

A warm apple pie with cold vanilla bean ice cream brought me to tears once. That's when you know you are living.

Also, I was a cow once.
