About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change the world

ABOUT ME

My life is a life lived with no boundaries. My room has no door, my phone has no password, and my social security number is 614-23-2715. I live this way because life is too short to constantly be in fear of what could possibly go wrong - there isn't even enough time to do what I would like to do as it is.

I am a closed book which is willing to divulge everything to the person curious enough to turn the pages. But I'll warn you from the forefront, reading me is to be read; questions asked will be answered with further questions as I enjoy the dance of dialog far more than the content of the conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

"You only get one shot at life, why waste it on sleep?"
Life is also too short to spend time matching socks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted couch surfers before I knew that people couch surfed. So much for thinking that I was unique...

Having lived in my car for half a year, I had become quite accustomed to not having to pay for rent. So I decided that if I paid for rent, there had better be a good reason for spending the money which could have easily gone towards a new project, a hungry orphan, or some other worthy cause.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

February 2013 - Formally hosted my 1st couchsurfer from China.
March 2013 - Traveled to Miami and surfed with friends.

Interests

To be completely honest, my brain was probably wired with a few missing dopamine receptors. But don't worry! Over the years I have been able to compensate for my deficiency by intellectually becoming fascinated by all the novelties of life.

To put it another way, there is now nothing that I can't find interesting and there is also nothing that is outside my comfort zone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy Spotify as it has allowed me to connect with my friends on the level of music. I love discovering my friends' interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen children in abject poverty express joy incomprehensible. That drives me. "Why drive when you could be driven?"

Teach, Learn, Share

I read, write, think, build, learn, and expand.
But I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before me.
