About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to journey to the center of the earth...and then to rock!

ABOUT ME

thoughtful, impulsive, always thinking, loves to party, learn and meet people from all different walks of life.

SERIOUS musician--guitar, violin, percussion.

Love football (Arsenal FC), spicy food, great conversation, wine, whiskey and rock n roll.

PHILOSOPHY

It's probably something Optimus Prime said in 1984-1986.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch surfing experience was amazing--in Munich and I've wanted to replicate that feeling for others.

Interests

Music, technology, finance, cooking, exercise, history, laughter, taking the piss out of people, dancing to ghetto fab funk, trying to stay cool in 100/100 heat/humidity.

Music, Movies, and Books

Led Zeppelin, UGK, Waylon Jennings, Miles Davis, Vivaldi and everything in between. Loved Freakonomics, The Namesake, Godfather, Dazed & Confused, Waking Life, Network

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Taj Mahal, the overwhelming kindness man is capable of in the face of tragedy (9/11, Katrina, London, Spain Tsunami, Mumbai attacks).

I also had a boxer dog that climbed a tree chasing a squirrel who was tormenting him.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have degrees in philosophy and political science. I have worked in politics and now work in media and fashion. In short, I've had the most irrational career trajectory ever. I still have aspirations to be a race car driver.
