About Me

I'm a polymath and I love amazing people.

I think of myself as an opportunity matchmaker, and I do this through www.LiveBeyondSchool.com. I love helping people like me, especially people who don't like forcing themselves into molds; people who'd rather not follow a system that says to kiss ass in order to make money, or earn an education, or gain them a lifestyle to die for. First off, you shouldn't die for a lifestyle, what's the "life" for, if you'd have to die for it?

In a nutshell: Don't kiss ass. Kick ass.

LiveBeyondSchool.com MATCHES you with opportunities for income, education and lifestyle that you care about 100%. With Live Beyond School you shouldn't have to compete to find opportunities. Opportunities that pay you to share your genius with the world should come easily; I think you really should have a fabulous time doing so too.

So what do you think?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. To meet people of like mind!
2. To enjoy traveling through the eyes of real locals.
3. To drastically reduce travel cost for myself and for others
4. I'll keep the other reasons 'til we meet... something SPECIAL for you. ONLY for you, because we met.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm a music glutton. I consume them all... Rock, Rap, Hip Hop, R&B, etc... mostly in that order

Specifically I enjoy the works of Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Emeli Sande, Bruno Mars, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Linkin Park, Cold Play, Alicia Keys, and a host of others I might remember when we meet.

Movies: Black Hawk Down, Avarta, and Half of a Yellow Sun

Books: Geezz... lots and lots of books. Generally I like Jim Colin's work for business books. Also, Raving Fans, Gung Ho!, Monopoly Rules, The Cash Flow Quadrant, Retire Young Retire Rich, Science of Getting Rich, StevePavlina.com, etc...

I successfully overcame senescence. I am now living forever... couchsurfing around the world and then across the cosmos.
