About Me

CURRENT MISSION

positively influence everyone I meet, get on the road more and see the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm living in Sacramento, working in behavioral services for kids, my fiancee Nishma is a speech therapist. We enjoy day trips, hiking around the hills or at the river, dancing, concerts and BBQs. Also, I don't mind being a couch potato and watching a good movie or documentary.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the moment, its the only thing we have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We live in a duplex in a quiet in neighborhood. We have a couch, a pullout bed couch and air mattress. In the future, we hope to travel around the world and eventually move to a new country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met many surfers, and enjoyed hosting the band, The Sunpilots for the first time as a host. I can't wait to meet more people and share stories. I have been very grateful to learn about and join the couchsurfing community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing the joy and awareness of the rarity and beauty of being alive in the moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

Community, sharing, serving others - these are all a core part of my philosophy. Our society needs to be less cut-off and less cookie-cutter and couchsurfing is a great way to experience the best of traveling and shaking up the traditional segregated method of hotels while on the road.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch, a pull out couch, and an air mattress.
