I recently sold 95% of my belongings and am currently traveling the US.

I'm looking to stay with people who enjoy and easy going roommate for a few days.

I also own my animation company www.drive80.com so that helps me stay financially a float on the road :)

I am super excited to meet amazing people and visit awesome cities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started nomading the country because I am recently divorced and lost my father a year ago so I felt that I needed some time to break away from the norm and do a little soul searching. I did some research and love the fact that couchsurfing seems to be about community which I am a giant fan of. Everything I have heard about this site has been very positive and I look forward to contributing to what this community is building.
