Art-minded and often looking for a good time with good people. Grew up in a small white-bred Wisconsin town and have since had meaningful stays in Alaska, UK, Singapore and Thailand and currently reside in Los Angeles trying to make good on the enormous debt my film MFA got me into.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For when I'm traveling and trying to have a good time without spending, what's better? Having moved and traveled a lot the past several years I can't shake the international mindset. If I'm at home, I'm down to meet people visiting and give them the local ins-and-outs that I appreciate when I'm abroad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is rather aggrandizing... let me think on it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: How to do tricks on the diving board, cook anything and take a great photo if your down to shoot film with me.

Learn: Whatever there is to.

Share: My time, company, sarcasm...
