About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, help fellow travellers, and to share the part of the world I've called home for 30 years.

ABOUT ME

Ahh, I am complex, but genuine. Love to explore the world, and have a handful of passions, including technology and Halloween. Would rather spend time with my family and friends than spend it alone, and often avoid activities like television in favor of live music or working on projects. I am creative in many ways, including art, music, and theater.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for people. I think there are so many interesting, wonderful, amazing people out there... and I want to meet as many as possible, share experiences, stories, and friendships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS project, so I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I am participating, other than being a gracious host!

Interests

I am interested in a LOT of stuff, guess you will just have to get to know me to see how deep this hole is...

  • arts
  • culture
  • theater
  • environment
  • technology
  • traveling
  • music
  • live music
  • engineering
  • software

Music, Movies, and Books

Not much of a book reader, but I find a little bit of time. Music takes priority, I'm a music fiend. I like just about EVERYTHING out there. Movies can be great, but I find that I often don't allocate much time in my life for them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have built an amazing, successful haunted attraction with the help of some wonderful people in my life, and it's an environment that others have so much passion for, that it becomes a part of their lives. Seeing the importance of it in others lives make it special.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yes, Yes, and YES. I can tell you everything you never wanted to know about the haunted attraction industry, software engineering, and theater tech. It's pretty amazing.

I'd love to learn more about *everything*. I'm a sponge. I love culture, traveling, and arts.
