About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Love life and its living

ABOUT ME

I'm just a guy who likes to have a good time with good people, make some art and go to sleep, get up and see the world face to the sun and then the fun begins again. I'll be there with smiles and sunglasses on.

Now a slightly more detailed version:
I moved out to LA to pursue my acting career after living in New York for 5 1/2 years (I studied acting at NYU). Now I'm out here and loving the change of weather and pace. While working many different jobs, I also run a production company with friends of mine from school, and we are currently producing a few projects, including a short film about three famous filmmakers tripping on acid and a web series about one of my friends and her puppet alter-ego. I love to travel, cook, write, play guitar, philosophize, and many other things in between.

Let's Get Weird

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've traveled and surf a few wonderful couches in my time. Also, just recently added my own couch! Very excited!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled around Europe for three weeks with two of my friends, and the most meaningful experiences I had meeting people were through couchsurfing. Every person I met was generous, welcoming, friendly, and just a kickass person in their own right. The way that it fosters community and transcends national and cultural borders is beautiful to me, and I've been lucky to share in that beauty and hospitality.
