CURRENT MISSION

I want to write more, and always be more kind, and I like to find perspectives that change my mind.

ABOUT ME

IG: https://instagram.com/jeffbrittwishesitwouldrain?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I like words. I love movies. I love rain and cool weather. I love adventure and taking good risks. I love making films with my film partner and friend, Michael. Our next film in May 2023 will be a short film in the Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project.

I'm a comedian— used to do a lot of improv for many years, but it's been a while now, but I'd like to make some time for it again. Also been writing some standup stuff that I hope I'll perform on a stage soon.

Edit [I've lived in Austin for 19 years. That seems like a very long time. I have many rich and rewarding friendships and ties to Austin, but I look forward to living somewhere completely outside of Texas.]

I wrote the above-in-brackets 9 years ago, and now,
as of 2 years ago, I'm happily well escaped from Texas, and residing in the fine community of Pittsburgh, PA.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to notice interesting sounds.

One of my favorite book quotes: "There's only one rule that I know of, babies--God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I learned about CS from my friend and banana brother Ky, who got me this sweet, weird job, and told me all about couchsurfing.org as a means of making my job even more fun. CS has been an adventure full of meaningful moments and new friendships. I have only been a surfer, so far, and not yet a host.

Интересы

I love watching films. I do a lot of improv and scripted theater. I love to go camping whenever I can.
