Life is short, so I try to make sure that most of my work has an elevated purpose beyond monetary compensation. I want to become a social entrepreneur-- to create opportunities for myself and others, help to solve real world problems, and contribute to a better future for all. I'm still exploring how to do that, and I'm open to ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2015, I'm producing Co-Nation, a collaborative documentary about cooperation, creativity, and community-building in the United States. Help me discover your stories and/or invite me to visit during my cross-country bicycling tour.

In 2016, I hope to work internationally and travel abroad. I'm looking forward to making new friends and having new adventures away from home #CoCreate
