Growing up in California, I was afforded the opportunity to travel a great deal growing up. After graduating from USC, I got into aviation. After teaching people how to fly for two and a half years, I started flying for the airlines. I've always really like airplanes, airports and hotels, so being an airline pilot seemed to suit me well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a pilot based at LAX, but I live up in the Bay Area. Sometimes I sit on reserve for a few days and need to be within 2 hours of the airport. Because of that, I hope to find a few couches that wouldn't mind me hanging out for a bit while I wait around to be called.

Interests

Outside of aviation, I'm a great cook. I love throwing parties for lots of friends and feed them some new creation. Also, I spend a lot of time listening to new music, especially while riding my motorcycle through the Santa Cruz mountains.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've flown all across the country for fun and as an airline pilot. I've also been to over 30 countries. I once wrote my name on the Hollywood sign. I've got a lot of random stories I'd love to share.
