I work for a major ice company in the I.T. department. Yes, the complicated title means I do computer type work. I've lived in the Philippines since I was born and moved to Canada when I was 15 with my family. I was married in 2014 to my beautiful wife, Kristine. (seen in pictures)

I am an avid photographer/cinematographer. See a sample of my work here:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I currently don't have a couch to offer, but if you're ever in my city (Winnipeg) and need someone to show you around and take you to interesting places, I'd be more than happy to do so!

Mainly I am here to meet and stay with people during our travels. (Kristine is usually with me)

Interests

I enjoy photography and everything creative. I'm currently very engaged in cinematography and learning to do more of it. I love to explore, discover and experience what the world has to offer.

• arts
• writing
• photography
• technology
• music
• communications

Music, Movies, and Books

I play the guitar and love to be around musicians. I like to jam out and enjoy musical patterns.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to count, but if I had to say one - driving from Winnipeg to California back in 2012. It was a tremendous experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm sort of a whiz when it comes to technology. You need help with your computer, I can help. I'm also sort of a know it all. If there's something you want to learn, chances are, I might know something about it. I can teach music and its technicalities. I can help you with your creative processes in art, music, writing, visual, story telling, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A portrait.
I am a portrait photographer. I consider a portrait something of value. Whether it is used for social media to represent your image, or something you can give someone to remember you by, I can produce a portrait for you that you could use. Hopefully for the next few years.
