About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creating the fun, dynamic place I call the world around me

ABOUT ME

I'm a history teacher in Taicang, China. I love to mess around with technology in my spare time, as well as explore the Taicang/Shanghai/Suzhou area.

PHILOSOPHY

I just like to live life with a little bit of zeal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, I come to occasional meetup (well one so far) and I surf. When I host, I try and show folks the best time that they can possibly have :).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed on several continents (without the help of a website, even!), but really the best couchsurfing trip I've ever gone on is the one I took during summer 2007 across the states visiting friends from my University years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I jumped out of an airplane in Russia.
I transitioned from being a history teacher to a startup CEO. It was fun.
