One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I built a house in Thailand where I lived and wrote for 6 months. I also busked with a friend for 47 hours straight to raise money for victims of floods in Australia in 2011.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty terrible at guitar but I guess I could teach someone who knows nothing a few things to get them started. I can also juggle a little bit and can do some basic break-dancing. I've been a guest speaker at several stand up comedy classes, so i guess I could give some pointers to any budding comedians.
