About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To solicite laughter and awareness as I discover these on my travels

ABOUT ME

I and my fiancee, Sophie are chill, thoughtful and with a sense of humor.
We are physical theater performers and make theater that will make you laugh till you pee-your-pants and then tug on a bunch of heart strings.

I am also a Hospital Clown (Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit) by trade, but pride myself on being very relaxed and down to earth off stage. (i.e. I won't be trying to make you laugh all the time)

Sophie works in Green Energy.

We also work with homeless youth in NYC, facilitating the creation of amazing theatre with them.

Our dog is a lover and Very Chill and housebroken.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for moments spent lounging around with friends (new or old) doing nothing but laughing or playing music or eating Really Good Food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted twice in Montreal, by an awesome household. I feel saved by Couchsurfing and can't wait to have a place of my own to open up to travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was given My Own Room for a couple weeks by awesome Couchsurfers in Montreal...and returned to them a couple years later with my girlfriend for another couple of weeks. They were SO hospitable and awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I toured by myself in NewEngland for a couple months and loved the open road and the adventures and how welcoming people were. I loved cooking fresh veggies in tucked away roadside campsite.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to investigate more this thing called "The Moment". From it's most glorious to it's just plain suckiness. And how to find buoyency, a way to stay afloat, no not just afloat, but a way to Surf it.

i.e. To search, expect and live for the humor in it all.
