CURRENT MISSION

Take over the world.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and I've experienced around thirty-five countries and over fifty different cultures. I've been shooting photography for quite a few years now, doing it for a hobby, but also for work, mostly loving landscape and architecture, because of the travel, but recently have been getting into doing portraits, people and fashion. I'm a technology geek; always interested in the next idea to spur on intelligence of humankind, yet still social enough to have human emotional and physical connection.

I consider myself an artist, so my hope is to attempt to create images with other talented individuals that evoke originality. Everyone I know would agree that I am a free spirit or a hippie; I typically am referred to as a "modern day gypsy." Creativity, hope and a sense of humor are goals that I strive for. So when you're with me, expect to have a fun, easy going and laughable adventure! On a non photography side I love inventions and creative music with a dash of strategy gaming.

I speak English and Spanish pretty fluently, but I can also understand words and sentences in Korean, Italian, Chinese, and quite a bit of Hawaiian Pidgin. While my Polish is not so fantastic I would love to be fluent someday.

PHILOSOPHY

I love philosophy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced by a friend, and despite never actually staying with a couch surfer that I had never met, I've found this community to be highly engaging and extremely helpful in any request I've had.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The guerilla wars in Mexico growing up. Nearly getting shot in a bullet shootout spree in Guadalajara. The smiles on extremely poor kids faces in Guatemala and Beijing when i brought them food. Standing under the Leonardo statue in Milan. Dancing in a club in Pacific Beach (San Diego), then all running out for a skinny dip party in the Pacific Ocean. Watching the houses of now "Project X" burn down. Traveling the Warped Tour with incredible people. Working and living in a monastery in Italy. Backpack for weeks across northern Europe without nearly a penny to my name. Work 1 on 1 with the CEO of a global corporation.
