About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave my amazing mark on this world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graphic designer who lives in Boulder Colorado. I snowboard, hike, mountain bike, wake board, rock climb and on and on. I'm very open minded and will sit down and talk art and philosophy all day. In my life I'm looking to explore this world and find some great people to show me around! I love making people happy so lets take a walk and see what path it leads us down.

PHILOSOPHY

Religion is a very complicated thing. It's one of those things where the more you don't understand it, the more you actually understand it so I just say Love and be Loved and the world will provide. That and Everybody Wang Chung tonight!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by offering my couch/services for others (when I can). In the past my family has hosted for foreign exchange students and I can't wait to do my part in return for what people help me with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was a Lift operator for two years while I claimed residency and saved money for school, anyone who has been a ski bum can tell you how friendly and open the culture is in a resort town (at least in the rockies). So I've shared my couch and also been offered places as well.

Interests

Art/Design, Snowboarding, music (all kinds), Fun and interesting people.

Music, Movies, and Books

What the Bleep do you know. Into the Wild, Choke, Fear and Loathing, Happy Gilmore, The big Lebowski (on of my top favorites), The Doors, Rodrigo and Gabriella, The XX, Chemical Brothers, Bassnectar and Pretty lights, The Grateful Dead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have no idea where to even begin, I've experienced so much and met so many great people that I wish I could express my gratitude to everyone and everything. If I had to pick one I'd say that once I snowboarded down Vail mountain at night on Christmas Eve under a Full Moon (I'll never forget that one). And I was privileged to ride Loveland pass on a day when the pass closed down and I was the only one to ride two feet of powder BY MYSELF.

Teach, Learn, Share

Balance order from chaos and you'll find me.

I've learned to have compassion for all things. To hold your head high and never stop learning.
