I am a nomad of sorts. I have been traveling the world in search of knowledge, wisdom, and really good beer. I run a nomadic theatre company, choreograph fights (I am a recognized actor combatant the in the Society of American Fight Directors), design and develop websites, and engage in entrepreneurial activities across the globe. I also practice yoga, photography, and I have some pretty mean bullwhip skills. I am from cowboy country after all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people is number 1. This allows me to learn from those from all walks of life and broaden my world view. I have even found some awesome projects by doing so. Number 2 is I am a theatre artist. The human condition is an interest og mine. Number 3 is I am a bit of an entrepreneur and my stays often end up developing professional relationships.
