CURRENT MISSION

This year I've been traveling all over the country to see the comedy short films I've written and directed play in film festivals.

ABOUT ME

I'm now jumping in head first in a new direction for my life. I love exploring new cities and meeting interesting people. I'm on the open road sleeping in my car attempting to do stand up comedy and freelance writing and looking for fun times.

PHILOSOPHY

If at the end of it all you don't have a good story to tell then you don't have much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only surfed so far and have had a great time at each place. Looking forward to hosting if I ever go back home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in 2009 I did a lot of surfing all at once. Life kind of took over and I haven't been traveling in a while, but I'm looking to change that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a teacher at an inner city school I've seen kids find their voice and win top honors for doing so. It is amazing to see how far people can go with even the smallest catalyst.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to use acupressure, to relieve or lessen pain from a headache. I'd like to learn to hold myself up in a hand stand. That mostly, but anything I can learn I'll listen to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you want to attend the film festival with me I can get you a ticket. Also I'm a decent cook.
