CURRENT MISSION

Learning Mandarin, Launching my Business and Finding the Grail

ABOUT ME

Grew up semi-nomadic around different places in the United States. Did not initially travel the world much but have been spending a lot of time making up for it.

I love creating new things! I enjoy drawing, writing software, writing, and brewing beer!

Each day I try to make the world a little bit better place!

PHILOSOPHY

I want to make the world a more special place to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting couch surfers on a regular basis, going to CS meetups all over the world, and hanging out with CSers as much as I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted quite a few Couchsurfers and I always love meeting new people. Sadly I've not actually surfed on anyone's couch. For that the stars never seem to align. Though I have no doubt the time will come.
