CURRENT MISSION

For a person who wants to see the world, I'm getting a really late start, but no better time than the present. I now have every summer off and I plan to soak up the world and meet everyone in it.

ABOUT ME

I'm all over the place. I'm organized, analytical and educated, and while I've been successful at most things I've tried they usually don't hold my attention very long. I've worked a ton of different jobs trying to find what I enjoy. I'm still not fully sure that I have. I've worked in an accounting office while moonlighting as a bartender. I ride motorcycles and love to engage in dangerous sports but most people would say I'm kind of shy. Now I teach so that I can have time to write, which is my real passion. I love life and refuse to leave any stone unturned.

PHILOSOPHY

Live fast AND die old! Why can't we do both?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed with 3 different couchsurfers on my trip through Europe last summer. Stayed with Haley and Rox in Germany and Oliver in Denmark. I've met a few other CS'ers in the Netherlands and every person has been unbelievably open, interesting and cool. I currently live with roommates so I don't have a couch for other members to use, but I would love to show you my city. I'm an LA boy, born and raised.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haley, Rox and several other CS'ers and I got together for a beach volleyball game one night in Germany. Then it started to pour rain so we adjourned to the bar and had a beer. Then we ran home in the rain. Great time. Great people.

Interests

Snowboarding, weightlifting, writing screenplays, trail running and watching tons of movies. I love American football and basketball. Museums, hiking and I've been known to tip a brew or two.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hearing it start to rain in the rainforest but not actually getting wet until a minute or two later. Its like your inside Nature's house for that minute.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people about movies and screenwriting. I can talk philosophy with almost anyone, and I can put you on a great workout and eating regimen, if you so desire. I want to learn everything.
