I’m an animation filmmaker based in Portland Or. I’ve work in stop motion but also film weddings and commercial films. I love ready, baking, and exploring the Pacific Northwest. I grew up on the Oregon Coast but didn’t start surfing until after I moved away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would love to meet, host, or just have coffee with any fellow Surfers out there. I'm also willing to help answer questions regarding things to do around the Pacific Northwest (there's a lot to see).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have met many CS'ers as people have trompted through Oregon. I also studied abroad the fall of 2012 where I couch surfed in Newcastle.

Interests

I love to watch films, meet people, watch the leaves fall, and play in the grass. The world is a beautiful place and I don't like it when my life passes by too fast. I've got into rock climbing a little and I love the beach. The beach is one of those things that I didn't appreciate for 18 when I lived on the coast, and I've come to realize how truly beautiful it is.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the LOTR trilogy, animated films, and most foreign films. Anything of Miyazaki is really great as well. I am a fan or Carl Hiaasen's novels, and as well as comic books. I like Batman and Tin Tin (Before the film came out). TV shows are huge now, and I've recently gotten into "How I Met Your Mother," "Breaking Bad," "Game of Thrones," and of course "Doctor Who."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One thing amazing I’ve done is to make a career out of photographing puppets in stop motion.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the outdoors. Be that hiking, camping, surfing, rock climbing, or just walks around a park or beach. I want to learn about the rest of the world and am always wanting to learn more about all the different corners of the world and the people who live there.
