Lived in Europe for a while and got real big into the surf communitah over there. Moved back to the states a few months ago and am eager to keep the ride alive. I enjoy mispronouncing people's names and cooking vegetarian.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise/sunset while hiking through a snowstorm in the Sawtooth mountains in central Idaho, USA.

When I turned 14, I took fiduciary responsibility for my mothers 401K. We discussed over Italian food. I had my first espresso, it kept me up all night. I fell asleep at dawn for five minutes and had a stress dream about the house burning down. Pretty good birthday.

Teach, Learn, Share

Do I just pick one? Teach....no, Share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Endless hours of television and film commentary, pick the medium. Also, some cool travel stories from a guy who's lived all but 10 months of his life in Chicago. I can also help my hosts discern various furniture items, be they davenports, chesterfields, or divans.
