About Me

I work in the Film and T.V. industry like most folks in Los Angeles, California. Ive been an Actor, have done stand up comedy, built sets, been an assistant director and even work in the transportation department for the film industry. All Union work. Nothing glamorous but it pays the bills. I have traveled to 67 different cities here in the U.S. Ive also lived in Atlanta, Georgia for three years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Id like to make new friends. I can stay in a Air B n B or a local Hostels but I won't have the same experiences as with a local. Id like to go to your favorite place to eat, hang out at your favorite bar and get a feel for what your interested in. See the world and experience life from your point of view. From June 1st to June 25th I will be traveling Europe landing first in the Azores, Portugal then after a few days heading to Lisbon, into Spain, France, Germany, Amsterdam, Sweden and the United Kingdom before returning back home. I look forward to meeting you and hanging out during my journey while visiting Europe.

Interests

When I am not working I like to study and work on my craft by taking acting classes, scene study, stand up comedy and improvisation. I feel like the classes makes me a better person with a deeper understanding of myself. I also like to write and record hip hop music. I enjoy producing shorts and music videos as well. Working with the right team is the fun of creating for me. I like to hike and goto museums and learn the culture of where ever I go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stand up comedy. I was afraid so it felt great to face my fear on stage. Sky dive, that was kind of crazy. And this forth coming trip I am taking to Europe given the fact that I know no one over there. Yeah this is going to be pretty amazing.
