CURRENT MISSION

Push the limits

ABOUT ME

I build the Internet! I'm a web developer, writer, and a slew of interests and hobbies. I love solving problems and gaining understanding about how the world works as well as how people interact. I spend a lot of time learning and reading about design and programming.

I train in a martial art called Hwa Rang Do. I like discovering new things.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has something to say, and we all need to respect them and take everything into consideration. People are good natured. I live life to constantly improve my life so that I can improve the lives of those around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed through parts of France a while back. I hope to host someone to return the favor sometime.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled in France for four weeks, mostly staying in Paris. Myself and my girlfriend at the time found a lot of couchsurfers in Paris, and they showed us the true way to be an amazing couchsurfing host!

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz is the music of the soul. It allows you to tell a story in a very personal way. Some of my favorites are Pat Metheny, Cannonball Adderely, Miles Davis, Paul Desmond, and Chick Corea. Other styles I like include several electronic styles, house, electro, dubstep, drum n bass, and jungle. I'm mostly interested in music, over movies and books.

I play dungeons and dragons once a week.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my martial arts instructors laid on a bed of nails shirtless and placed 5 bricks on his abdomen while another instructor smashed all of them at once with a sledge hammer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a musician and love talking about music theory or just the feelings we all get from our favorite music. I can teach self defense as well and could talk about martial arts for hours. I can teach the basics of meditation as well as how to learn about your body's flow of energy.
