ABOUT ME

I actually had some friends write these. I felt like it would have been cheating to speculate about what people might say.

Chelsea: You are one of the most positive people I've met. I instantly wanted to be your friend because of how much fun you are and have stayed your friend because you're thoughtful and caring. You go out of your way for other people and are a joy to be around. Let this man crash on your couch!

Bethany: Collin is one of those people that becomes a fast friend. He has an energy for life and new experiences that is infections. He's up for deep conversations as well as spontaneous fun.

Interests

I love being outdoors in the city.

I crew sailboats an 80ft. and a 110ft. schooner on the Hudson River and in NY Harbor. Last week we had someone on our boat who had come through Ellis Island, from Russia, 80 years ago (she was 96). Getting to meet people like that is awesome. Plus getting a peaceful view of a chaotic metropolis is such a blessing.

I also ride my bike everywhere in NY, which is dangerous, but also fun.

I'm known to frequent coffee shops and restaurants with friends. I enjoy hearing people's stories and getting to tell mine over a good meal/coffee.

I'm an actor by trade. I do commercials for a living, as well as plays and musicals. For fun I do improv comedy at UCB in NY and write/film scripts with my friends.

I also sing. I'll serenade you if you let me come and stay. Furthermore, if you've got a guitar and you play, you name a song and I'll learn it and sing it with you.

Other interests: Outer space/Cosmos, Spirituality, History/anthropology, art house films, and indie music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking the cliffs in Dingle, Ireland with my Mom, Dad and brother at twilight after learning to drive a stick on the opposite side of the car and the opposite side of the road.

Taking a weekend flight to Paris, on a romantic whim, with someone I'd just met, and going to the top of the Eiffel Tower on a cloudy night, with flashing lights and someone I was crazy about.

Performing on Korean National Television for the Daegu International Music Festival and walking the red carpet surrounded by thousands of screaming fans upon entry. It felt like being a Beatle... well, as close as I'll ever get to being a Beatle.

Others: Taking 16 mile hikes through the rockies when I was 18. Sneaking into the chemistry building at Yale University and visiting the secret floor called "Hell," where they worked on the Manhattan project. Touring the U.S. in a van with a children's tour of a Christmas Carol.
