About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World domination? Getting out of the countryside, DJing at clubs in Tokyo, taking photos of sick bikes, and no-handed backward circles

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art with a bachelors in Interactive Media. I am currently working as an English teacher for the JET program and live in northern Japan. I enjoy DJing, riding my fixed gear bike, designing websites, taking pictures, and other creative activities. I recently started a company, NIMMBL, for my client work and will be launching 2 new websites within the next few weeks. I'm generally a pretty happy guy and do my best to have a good time all the time :)

PHILOSOPHY

Nengi miso ramen

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started using CS so I'll do my best by offering what I have to those who are in my area. I hope to be in Tokyo in the near future, so when I am, I'll def have a space for someone to share!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just hosted a lovely french woman and we had a great time. She was the bomb and I cant wait to host someone again. Im moving to Seoul soon, so if your heading in that direction, hit me up.

Music, Movies, and Books

I find that I don't give myself time to read because I'm always working on something. Although, I love David Sedaris

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are countless I guess, although I once stripped down to my knickers and climbed into a giant clear plastic bag, of which I sealed, in the the middle of a busy Korean shopping center.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a wicked photographer and designer. I also do a bit of internet architecture and consultation. All around geek so I can usually help with computer stuff and related topics. :) I'd love to hook up with people who speak a bit more Japanese and who would be willing to help me out.
