About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've backpacked/wandered/explored for 20 years. Life is best lived experiencing things that you otherwise wouldn't if you never venture out of your comfort zone. LA is my favorite place to explore and create, and when there's time I like to visit.

ABOUT ME

I am a 45y/o father of two (12&9), living in South Carolina. I began making films about five years ago, but never seemed to find my way. I most recently finished filming my first full length film.

When I am at home I am a writer and SAHD for two wonderful children. My son is legally blind, so most of my time is spent hanging with the kids and finding things to explore.

I'm a very artistic crafty guy who can cook his butt off...So if you have a couch and a stove who knows. I love almost everything and find common ground easily. I LOVE BALLING OUT in Venice; handball, basketball..

PHILOSOPHY

Live for today, remember yesterday, plan for tomorrow and life will always have your back..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My surfing is limited, but the experiences taught me that everyone has common ground and interests. The West Coast is a great place to couchsurf, but my last trip to Boston was a little rough..

Interests

I love cooking but not just cooking. I love to grow what I eat and take whatever I have a create something that tastes like a million bucks but cost $5. I play pretty much all sports, am deeply passionate about art and the beauty of all things, music especially improv singing and karaoke, the outdoors, almost anything and everything fun and positive...

420 friendly and love a cold beer

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch alot of foreign TV (thanks Direct TV). I love Underbelly, an Australian/New Zealand Crime/Drama series, BBC plays on my TV daily, and I have grown to love TVZMB, which is a hard to find channel that shows African television (when it is avialable).I read 3,000 books in 4 years and kept a detailed journal. I have a collection of government/political books that provide interesting perspectives on history. Music is very important to me. I listen to everything, like most of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
