About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My wife Sierra and I are embarking on a 5 month long, round-the-world backpacking trip starting in Summer 2017. We plan on doing volunteer work in every country we visit, as well as creating a web series showcasing how you can give back while traveling, and create positive change in the world wherever you go!

ABOUT ME

First and foremost, I am an artist. I love to create. I am an animator, visual effects artist and photographer. I have the pleasure of working on feature films in Los Angeles and feel so grateful that I actually look forward to going into work every morning!

I love to travel as much as possible, I have tried to see as much of the US as I can but still love to travel outside the country. I was bitten by the travel bug at a young age thanks to my parents and haven't been able to stop since. Always looking for new cultures to submerge myself in, new experiences and new people to meet.

PHILOSOPHY

No regrets. Life your life to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sierra and I love getting to know the locals wherever we travel. It feels like a more genuine experience than staying in a hotel. The locals always know the most about the city, the good places to eat, neighborhoods to avoid, and how to get around. Who needs a travel guide when you can crash with a local!
