Overview
About Me
I am a friendly down to earth guy who loves to experience new things and meet new people. I travel a lot for work and only this week was convinced by a very good friend to do couchsurfing to get more of a unique experience out of my travels by meeting locals to help guide me within the culture.
Where was THIS when I traveled Europe 10 years ago??
I work in the movie industry, so travel to lots of film festivals and conferences. I always come bearing bad movies for you that I am pitched (Zombies vs Strippers?) and a ton of useless film trivia.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I actually never really thought about this until this week. Anyone I have spoke to about couchsurfing has had an amazing experience. I live in Hoboken, NJ, which boasts more bars in one square mile than anywhere else in the US (so I am told) and I'd love to have you over and take you around to many of them as well as an NYC tour (it is 8 minutes away from Hoboken).
As mentioned above, I am MOSTLY by myself when traveling for work, so would be pretty nice to hang with someone that knows the area and can give me better firsthand knowledge than YELP. I always go to bars and meet locals anyway to hang with. This just speeds up the process!
Interests
Netflix and Chill.
I also like riding my bike and doing some running when I get time.
I do some stand up comedy and writing as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once met Shaquille O'Neal and he then recognized me the next day and called out my name.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn ANYTHING whether it is cooking, building a couch fort, hiking, or survival of the fittest.
In terms of TEACHING, I kDO now some interpretive dances that are pretty catchy...
