About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore this wonderful world we live in.

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing fellow with no end of passions and opinions to share. As a student of life I thrive on new experiences and meeting new people. I am starting a new chapter in my life and can't wait to see what it is.

PHILOSOPHY

Open mind, open heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS experience but very excited about the possibilities. I was introduced the the concept by a good friend but as a single dad couldn't really indulge my wanderlust and I had no couch to spare. Now that my kids have grown and moved on I have the freedom to really explore the country and hopefully the world.

Interests

I love games and am a professional game designer. I have been involved in role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons since the beginning and have an old school spell named after me (nerd alert!!). I love comedy and performing - usually Improv.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm passionate about movies and see quite a lot of them. My musical tastes are eccentric - show tunes, old folks songs, 80's alternative, Goth, Industrial and Darkwave.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many - I am very grateful. One example - I got to pitch movies to Roger Corman. Nothing came of it but it was a really cool experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

SHARING: I'm a social gamer so can introduce you to board games you may have wanted to try or role playing if you want to find out what the hobby is all about. I am an improviser and comedian who is always interested in discussing "the craft". I can also teach basic computer skills and specific applications such as Photoshop.

LEARNING: I'm open to new things in general. I am a serviceable cook and would love to learn new recipes and techniques as I travel.

France, Germany, Japan, United States
