CURRENT MISSION

Turn stuffy business trips into lifelong memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a very active traveler and couchsurfer in my college years, but haven't been able to get out as much since entering the "real world". I am looking to re-kindle the adventurous side of me and meet new people via couchsurfing - one business trip. :)

Interests

I'm a major foodie, and love to cooking whenever I got the chance. With my busy schedule, the opportunities to make elaborate meals are getting fewer and farther between, but I still try my best.

Since entering the "real world", I would say that I live a fairly conventional life in a conventional suburban home, but I still love to try new things and do things my way. I started keeping pet chickens in college, and still do.

I love my rooster, and really only keep hens for rooster-companionship. The fresh, delicious eggs are mostly just a side-benefit.

Teach, Learn, Share

- Project management and optimization of internal business operations are my expertise, if you are into that.

- Pharmaceutical/life sciences industry: It's the industry I have spend most of my career in, so it's topic I can speak to at an unofficial capacity, if you are curious.

- Automobile Accident and Repair: Since I dabbled briefly in insurance claims too in my early career, I can actually offer some pretty good input and advise in this area.

- Professional Development: I make no claims at being an expert, but I do have some experience here and can take a look at your resume and provide feedback.

OR if all that bores you:

- Travel: I can offer advise on your travel aspirations, as I learned a lot about traveling within any budget from my backpack days.

- Livestock as pet: I suppose I'm a bit of a homesteading hobbyist, so I can share with you my experiences and lessons-learned in keeping chickens and ducks as pets and container gardening. I've also done a fair bit of research into other areas, such as beekeeping and aquaponics.
