My favorite question to ask people is whether they would be the first person on Mars, given the opportunity, however if they go, they'll never return. Would you do it? This question tells me all you need to know about someone. And, for me... I would take that trip to Mars in a heartbeat.

I'm ambitious, hard working, deeply mindful, and desire to create a lasting positive impression during my time on this planet. I would stay on Mars because it would be a small leap for human kind to reach the next sphere of influence, and I'm willing to sacrifice that for the greater good. Plus, its an adventure!

During my short career, I've started two businesses (one successful - one, meh), played professional poker, and have worked in manufacturing apparel.

Now I have a traveling radio show that is taking our show on the road. Me and my team (3 others) are traveling South America to interview people that we find fascinating, that are outliers with their craft, and are highly successful. We've had scientists, actors, athletes, drug producers, and more on the show. I want to live the experiences of the people I interview. I LOVE humans and their stories - and my goal is to share them and the medium is travel.

Besides that I love sports, deep conversations, hiking, traveling, EATING, taking risks, and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to travel the world and see what it has to offer. To connect with people and have them show me their side of the city. The best experiences I've ever had traveling are on couchsurfing, there is no better way to connect with the city then from someone who understands it from the inside, and can take you along the way. I am open to any and all things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am deeply passionate on so many topics, especially nutrition and neuro-chemistry. I train people in the ketogenic diet, and nutrition and fitness while traveling (balancing both). I bring an endearing thoughtful conversation to many topics and I continue to be inquisitive. Also, we can share our podcast episodes with you!
