I moved to Chicago from Austin about a year ago and I'm really digging it so far. I want to experience everything life has to offer me before I get too old to really appreciate it or be too tied down to act on it. This usually means moving every three or four years. Before Austin I went to an acting school in New York City for two years and before that I did the whole childhood and adolescence thing in Louisiana and Central Illinois.

I'm constantly on the search for the next creative project and I love being around creative people. Lately I seem to have been finding a niche in comedy (mostly improv, sketch,and a little bit of stand-up) but I hope to become more involved with theater and film stuff here in Chicago. Somehow playwriting has become a big thing for me and I've been able to have a couple of short things I've written produced. I'm lookingto continue to grow as a person through meeting new people who are very different from me as well as saying yes to whatever I encounter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quitting my day job and going on a month and half long road trip starting mid August. I'm trying to visit as many new cities ,national parks, and baseball parks as I can as well as eat all the good local food that I can find. If any host wants do any of those things with me, that would be rad since I won't know a soul in around half the places I'm visiting.
