Hello,

I grew up in NYC but have lived/traveled around the states and to a lesser degree, the world. I've had a number of life highlights... Appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire', saved a woman from drowning and had Dee Snider of Twisted Sister sing Happy Birthday to me. I've also skydived, won two football championships, been a published writer and was the tour manager for rock bands in my late-twenties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was laid off from a startup recently and plan to use the time to travel. I subleased my apartment but when I return, I'd be more than happy to return the favor and offer up my couch to fellow Couchsurfers. I live on the Astoria shoreline overlooking the magnificent skyline of New York City!
