About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the human experience and help others do the same.

ABOUT ME

I'm a business consultant by day and a musician by night. Music is my passion and I'm guessing most of my couch surfing will be related to it. I play in a local Chicago band called Farkus. I love it. I'm the type of person who can get along with anyone and can have fun anywhere. I'm a bit of a goofball and a ton of fun. I'd be very grateful to anyone who would be gracious enough to lend me their couch. I'll definitely be very respectful and courteous. Thank you in advance for letting me crash!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is devoid of all meaning, but that's the beauty of it. It's up to you to create purpose and meaning for your life. I believe in living life in the present and reaching out to embrace the random. Life to me should be enriched through experience rather than through the material.

Happiness is not a destination, it's a mode of travel. (Neil Peart)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to both host and surf myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed in North America so far, and I've had great experiences. I've met so many interesting people, and made many new friends. Couchsurfing is proof to me that people are good at heart. If everyone could learn to trust in humanity and each other like the couchsurfing world this would be a much better place. Accordingly, I think it's your duty as a surfer to help spread this idea wherever you go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a gigantic Pearl Jam fan and get great seats because I've been in the fanclub since I was 12. I've sat front row on several occasions. I have a pick from all the guitarists, a drumstick, and even a bottle of wine from Eddie Vedder. The first show I saw front row center was an amazing experience.
