About Me

I follow my values and can't quite stay inside the comfort zone - my life has been one crazy adventure by going on pursuit of what I love and believe and learning through experience.

I'm simple and relaxed. I enjoy hanging out with friends, no matter how or where, as long as everyone is enjoying themselves.

I'm also a workaholic whenever there is a project to be done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Knowing people from different parts of the world is like traveling without leaving your home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Orchestrated for a 3 time-Emmy nominee composer, Sheldon Mirowitz. Performed our original soundtrack to the movie "Sunrise" at Coolidge Corner Theater, people came to us afterwards to thank us. One person wrote "I clapped so hard my hands hurt, my eyes began to fill with tears. It was one of the most fantastic experiences of my life".

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of the world of Film Scoring, of being a Freelancer or Entrepreneur. I can also teach to play guitar!
