CURRENT MISSION

...to explore new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.

ABOUT ME

Some people tell me I'm living the dream. I guess that means having the ability to travel and explore the interests I do (have fun), while juggling a freelance film career as a director/cinematographer-editor. Fortunately, film/TV is very diverse with subject-matters offering possibilities to explore any and all interests imaginable. I am very grateful for all of the projects that have allowed me to experience the world like I have, as well as live out my many interests. Finally, I'm thankful for and love all of my friends and family who continue to support and challenge me everyday.

PHILOSOPHY

In pursuit of happiness by combining the activities and interests I love into my work adding to personal growth. If I were financially set, I would be doing exactly what I'm doing right now. Dreams make responsibilities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have a pullout couch and separate bathroom for those needing a place to crash. Love to hear stories from other's travels and experiences--the more extreme the better. If my schedule works out, I could give you a tour of the town, go on a hike or two, perhaps even backpack somewhere.

I've been very fortunate throughout my travels to receive excellent hospitality often by complete strangers, and I can only think to repay them by paying the generosity forward.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a nerd and geek, but with discerning tastes. (I am told the combination of the two makes me a freak, and knowing the difference makes me a dork as well ...oh, well. Live long and prosper.) That being said, I love science fiction/genre films and TV, as well as good character stories on the dramatic side. If the movie can offer something to learn or inspire me, even better!
