CURRENT MISSION

Be the Outlier, Raise the Mean

ABOUT ME

I'm a Senior Financial Analyst with Autotrader.com by day, and the drummer for Gran Mestizo (Latin Rock Fusion) by night. I'm half-Trinidadian, I have a black belt in karaoke, and I take being silly very seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Increase the overall happiness of the universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Orlando and Atlanta I invite folks to drum circles and nights on the town. I've hosted 14 wonderful people and surfed in France, Germany, Poland, Ecuador, Boston, New Orleans, Orlando, and Atlanta.

Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes are all over the place, I probably like the same things you do. My favorite movie is Dead Poets Society, music group is Red Hot Chili Peppers, and books are Happiness in Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went caving for my first time in Ottomuhl, Germany. Used no equipment other than a flashlight and managed to overcome my fear of small spaces.
