My parents were missionaries in the Philippines for 15 years, and got into prison ministry when we moved to the States, so I grew up seeing good examples of how to love people-I try to show that kind of love to the people I come across in my life. I'm currently an independent game designer and developer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find places to stay and meet interesting people as I do.

Interests

I think I'm pretty eclectic and I try to share in other people's interests. I like hearing what makes someone passionate about their interests. In my case, I'm super passionate about video game design because it's so multi-faceted and always forces me to stretch my knowledge and skills in many areas.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Lord of the Rings (Extended Editions) sit easily at the top. After that I enjoy animated films, most classic cinema, lots of dramas, comic book movies and a few comedies.

Music: Bob Dylan is generally my favorite artist. I love a lot of 60's rock and folk. Newer artists I enjoy include Twenty One Pilots, Alabama Shakes, Kings Kaleidoscope, Common Market and Joss Stone to name a few.

Books: The Bible is an easy number one. After that, the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter series'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 24 days backpacking around Europe. During that time, I ate only baguettes on 22 of the 24 days-because I was that cheap : )

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about people about their faith and my own. I want to know about peoples cultures and passions. I know a bunch of other random stuff, but I specifically know about computer graphics software. (and comic books!)
