As a business owner who travels a lot, I began researching the collaborative economy in 2010. This model is so much better than the current vertical economic paradigm. The interaction amongst strangers like Airbnb or coach surfing ultimately leads to a much better experience.

I can cook Louisiana cuisine and would be more than willing to share some cooking advice and tips to show how to cook Gumbo, Etouffee, Beignets, and other delicious eats.

If you are a musician, I also play piano, keyboards, and sing and love open jams.

I am level-headed with a peaceful demeanour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying at a cookie cutter hotel does not compare to sharing stories, and experiences with people who are welcoming you into their home just because. I have had numerous wonderful encounters on airbnb, and just learned about Couchsurfing from a long time friend. So I am eager to check it out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sought truth my whole life and have become a much better individual because of it. I travelled to Hawaii in 2016 and it was amazing hiking and seeing so many waterfalls. I performed in front over 1000 people in Los Angeles in 1999.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently writing a book entitled, The Residual Effect and am always open for discussions on my findings throughout my personal journey. Am always eager to share my knowledge and wisdom.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, music, and skits of hilarity! Maybe some awesome conversation ranging from quantum physics to music, or cooking.
