About Me

When I'm not eating, I'm doing ambiguous business stuff, playing music with my kids, or reading fiction and wikipedia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd be happy to show you New York's little secrets.

Back in my more active couchsurfing days, I once slept with 15 people on Mochan's floor in Shizuoka, Japan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk all about marketing, starting a new company, and product development. I like hanging out and sharing cooking tips.
