About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finding a supplier... Shanghai it is
ABOUT ME
I lived in Utah until I was 19, and then realized what a mistake that was. Spent my next two years on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormons) in Donetsk, Ukraine. Picked up Russian there, came back and started going to school studying business.
I was on the founding team for Stubtopia.com when I was 18, and business school seemed like high school again, so I switched my major to advertising, and am taking a little haitus to find some suppliers and work on a second business.
PHILOSOPHY
"A coward dies a thousand times before his death." - William Shakespeare
"I'm not running away from something... I'm running toward something."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Right now unfortunately I'm more of a surfer than a hoster -- living out of shared apartments until I make it big, then I'll be the best hoster ever.
