I'm an animator living in Pasadena with my wife of 7 years. I'm 43 years old. I moved to the LA area in 2001 in the hope of becoming a professional animator and I got my first job in the industry in 2005 on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I like discussions about politics (I'm quite liberal but try not to be closed off by partisanship), religion/beliefs (I don't believe in any gods but I like to talk about such things), food, TV / movies, and lots of other subjects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in getting a feel for the people where I visit, not just for the tourist attractions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bike through Europe for 2.5 months in 1999. It was a lot of fun and I'd love to do something like that again but it's much more difficult to find the time now that I'm married and own a house with multiple pets.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm quite good at baking artisan-style bread. If you supply the flour I'd be happy to bake you a loaf.
