About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live. Travel. Learn. Experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm a filmmaker who has been lucky enough to travel the world for work. My first CouchSurfing experience was in 2006 with a schoolteacher in a small village in the south of France. Ever since that experience I've wanted to open my own couch up to travelers visiting America but only recently relocated to a place that would appeal to fellow CouchSurfers.

PHILOSOPHY

Be true to yourself, experience everything you can, live a life without regret, be good to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've CouchSurfed in the past, and I'm looking forward to hosting CouchSurfers at my own place now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some really terrific people CouchSurfing in Europe and South America, including a school teacher, a university student living on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, and a Peace Corps worker.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll have to get back to you on this... too many for me to sort in my head right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked to the summit of Mt. Elbert in Colorado, the highest peak in the Rockies. Sailed around the world on a ship. Lived with an indigenous tribe in the Amazon rainforest.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a seasoned filmmaker and photographer and would be happy to search tips on the craft, both artistic and technical.
