CURRENT MISSION

Don't get a sunburn.

ABOUT ME

I recently founded an experience and interaction design firm. I dabble in music, I'm a student, a vegan, a minimalist, and I love the outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short and too long to spend it doing things that you don't want to do.

I take a very holistic approach to life. I don't believe in work life balance, I do believe in trying to improve and better understand myself constantly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Huge apartment with an extra friendly dog. Open floor space. I'm more than happy to host, meetup, cook food, ride bikes, and hang out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Used to be in a touring band. I would host bands when not on the road, and bands/fans would host us when we were on the road. Fantastic.

I'm fairly handy around the house and I make a mean vegan chili.
