Hi! I'm a very ambitious and active guy.

In high school I was very academically focused and that landed me a full-tuition scholarship from the government of Ecuador to attend the University of Southern California. During my years at USC I was part of an elite group of students called Society 53 who organized events for USC alumni and students, I co-founded a soccer organization called Trojans FC (check us out! www.trojansfc.com), and I played guitar and started learning how to sing. Of course I had to complete all my school work and in May 2018 I graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Upon graduating I went to Ecuador to start a marketing agency focused in the real estate niche. I sold about $165,000 worth of real estate (2 properties) in 3 months record time using digital marketing techniques!

In August I moved back to the US to take a break from my 11 month experiment in Ecuador and now I'm ready to go back to LA and continue building another soccer team in Santa Monica area! (And I am still managing the real estate agency remotely)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to couch surf across different people's couches for a few weeks until I find a cheap room to rent. I also think it will be a super fun experience given all the reviews I've seen!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

while volunteering in Ecuador in 2013 in the Galapagos islands I jumped off a 40-ft cliff into shark-infested waters! (i didn't know it was shark-infested until I dived in and opened up my eyes underwater 😅)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach or learn more guitar songs or other instruments! And I like learning in general, I'm a very curious person.
