ABOUT ME
First off, I love Couchsurfing! I met my lovely wife Nastja here. She surfed my couch and never left. Because of her I moved from Los Angeles to Ljubljana. We own an internet based business, so we can live anywhere.
Prior to being an entrepreneur I animated on such flicks as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings (did Gollum), & Ironman.
I'm an upbeat, positive person. Usually the leader of whatever group I'm in. I strive for excellence but also know how to have fun (I'm Irish!) Being an artist, I like the finer things in life -- things of beauty & things that make you feel.
PHILOSOPHY
I live my life to contribute positive energy back into the world. It's a messed up place, so every bit of love we give back pays off in spades.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When I had my place in Los Angeles I had dozens of couchsurfers. Probably 30 or so. Now that we're in Slovenia we want to meet cool community members.

Music, Movies, and Books
Love to read autobiographies (learn from others), self-help, business and classics. Musical favorites are the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jazz, Sinatra, and some rap (Kanye- before he became pretentious, Lupe Fiasco).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was in Java, I climbed a volcano at daybreak. The crisp darkness of the morning was illuminated by the slow releasing of the bright red lava. The entire hillside shook with each burst. As the sun slowly rose, the birds began to chirp and wispy purple and pink clouds began to form in the sky. It was the most vibrant display of colors I've ever seen. Magical.
Teach, Learn, Share
I believe we're here to give value to everyone we get the honor of meeting. Life is over way too fast, so why not just go for it? I'll teach you how to decide what makes you happy, then, despite how hard it might be, you can do it. It's total ninja shit, but it's all I've got.
