CURRENT MISSION

Meet interesting people and share a laugh.

ABOUT ME

I am really easy going. Most of my time is spent working on things I really enjoy. Which, means it isn't really work - just exciting. The majority of the people I interact with are business folk and while very intelligent do not express their personal opinions very often. I prefer to learn about people's views and stances to help me broaden my world view. In reality, I think everyone has a relatively narrow view of the world - this includes me. It is truly difficult to step out and understand those different from you. However, by attempting to do just that, you learn an incredible amount about yourself and the world we live in. Ultimately, that's what I am trying to do - understand where I fit into this whole production.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life in yearly cycles. I get extremely passionate about something new for one year and then move on to the next thing. I've never stopped to consider why, but I assume it is because I want to experience as much as possible in life before my time is up. Also, my father passed away at a young age when I was a small child. I've heard stories about what he wanted to accomplish and never had the opportunity to try. There is an embedded fear in me that I will also die young and miss my opportunity here to enjoy the many wonderful things life has to offer.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to surf around the world once. Hopefully, my small business will allow that freedom in the next year or two. Being young, there is plenty of time to make it happen. I will also open my home and turn on my stove for any like-minded guests. In the Spring and Summer you can count on the grill being up and running.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a couple stay with me for three nights recently and have four more guests on their way. I still haven't had the opportunity to surf... Dangit!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Absolutely nothing is better to me than a comedy. I don't care how dumb it is, if I get one laugh out of it, I consider it worth my time. Some of my favorites include Tommy Boy, Anchorman, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Zoolander, and Old School. I also enjoy dramas like Forrest Gump, Black Swan, The Social Network, Network, and Third Man.

My music interests are also quite varied. What I listen to is directly correlated to what I am 1. doing or 2. getting ready to do. I wish I had more time to discover local artists, but I allocate my time differently and instead listen to what the major labels put out: Gorillaz, Kings of Leon, Muse, Anberlin, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Frank Sinatra, White Stripes, La Roux, Ting Tings, Kansas, The Eagles, and Van Halen.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I saw a double rainbow on a road-trip to the Grand Canyon. This was before the "double rainbow" guy and I had a similar reaction. While I didn't question the meaning, I certainly remember being wowed by it. By the way, he's right, the camera doesn't even come close to capturing the beauty and intensity of the color.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Investing your money in people and not traditional investments is the best thing you could ever do. When you meet a person that truly inspires you, imagine what they are capable of stirring in others. Invest in them - whether it is through time or money, they are worth a lot to the world.

I would love to learn about urban gardening.

For the share - take concentrated and well-thought out risks. It is much better than being overly diversified and risk-averse.
