I love being creative, be it writing music, making animations, or anything that allows me to be artistic with my hands. When I was a kid I drew all over everything and got yelled at. Now I do it for a living. Life is good.

I live with my girlfriend Kristen and her cat Kruger. Both are very easy going but one of them can get a little scary to be around when overexcited... I'll let you guess which one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A former roommate first turned me onto the whole Couch Surfing idea, and for a while I was only familiar with hosting. But having traveled thru europe, I met up with SO many wonderful couchsurfers and discovered that the best part about traveling isn't so much where you go, but who u meet when you get there! In addition to hosting and surfing, I also hope to become more involved with the CS Los Angeles community by attending events and meet-ups with local members.

Interests

listening to music, seeing live shows, and being creative. Hobbies include swing dancing, hiking, bike riding, and occasional match of disc golf and tennis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to think that Northern California had some pretty amazing trails with ocean side views and waterfalls, but none of them even come close to the sights I saw while hiking through Cinque Terre, Italy. If you ever get the chance to visit even one of the 5 villages, I HIGHLY recommend it!

Teach, Learn, Share
