Hiya! I'm a writer/actor/director who pays the bills by ghostwriting for CEO types. I grew up in Southern California and have mostly been living in New York since. I'm great at charades, and terrible at riding bikes. I love meeting new people over food and drink, but I shut down at parties (I'll be the guy reading on the balcony). I live for movie nights, game nights, long walks, and long lunches with friends.

As a guest, I'm super-respectful. Growing up, my parents hosted singles and couples all the time, so I became hyper-attuned to guest etiquette. I'm always terrified that I will somehow inconvenience my hosts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to go to Edinburgh Fringe if I can make the money work.
