An east coast American with an open mind and a penchant for living life to the fullest. An entrepreneur by trade, what I really enjoy is experiencing the world and everything that it has to offer. Although I have been nearly everywhere in the United States, I have yet to have the opportunity to travel the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe Couchsurfing is the best way to fully immerse myself in a new culture, and location. I love meeting new people. Behind every person is a different story and way of viewing the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Rock, Electronic, Reggae, Jazz, Rap, Soul, Blues, Metal, Classical, Latin... it's all good.

Movies: Sergio Leone, Vincent Price, crime flicks, old horror films, Brave Heart and the Gladiator, Star Wars and LotR. Whatever... you know... a good film is a good film. The most notable movie I saw in the last year was called Brooklyn. A love story about an Italian and Irish immigrant in America. Beautiful.

Books: Mostly Russian and American classic literature. Dostoevsky, Twain, Tolstoy, Fitzgerald, Rand, Steinbeck, and so forth. I don't have as much time to read as I used to, but enjoy writing as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I've managed an award winning Northern Italian gourmet restaurant, started a few businesses of my own, driven a Formula 1 race car, hiked the Rockies, and published a small book, to name a few.

I don't really consider these amazing, but they were definitely memorable experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to learning just about anything and I share all.
