CURRENT MISSION

Live life. Find happiness. Make friends. Dream big.

ABOUT ME

I have a Master degree in Shakespeare and Performance.

I used to work in the film industry in Los Angeles but was burned by too many projects cancelling last minute and spent two months "interning" which turned into a fraudulent experience.

I am moving to Atlanta at the end of February to continue working in film and theatre. Most recently, I have been in Nebraska teaching at a local college and working as a fight director/director during local theatrical and film productions as well as bartending to make extra money.

I am straight but LGBT friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

Find what and who you love and go for it. Rejection is a key learning device toward a greater experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some experience in the past with Couchsurfing. I've met some great people in Texas and Michigan that I would gladly stay with again. I hope to meet new people as I make this new and exciting move to Atlanta region as well as future travels.

Interests

I enjoy stage combat/stunt work. I have also started reading novels for pleasure. I play video games, watch shows, and listen to a lot of Pandora.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just finished reading House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer and The Fuck Up by Arthur Nersesian.

The Big Short is probably the most important film of 2015 and Kingsman was the best Spy film of the same year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked on an Bollywood film and learned a fair amount about Hindi culture and the differences between Hollywood film experience and the usual Indian film experience. It also took me about a week to have a clear bridge of the language and culture barrier with the actors and assistants I worked with.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to share my passion for Shakespeare, theatre, and the arts with those that have had poor or little experience with them. Living life through the arts, no matter how big or small, is a life broadening experience. I want to learn about cultures I've never had the opportunity to experience. I love learning in a variety of topics from medicine and anatomy to engineering and rockets. If I could afford it (and the collector's would not chase me after), I would attend university forever just to keep learning from brilliant minds.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can maybe teach some movement arts while hanging out. I make a really good Sloppy Joe (according to friends and family).
