About Me

I'm an actor. If you want to see what I've done, just check out IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5110271/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

I have a lot of different side projects I do as well. Just ask me.

For instance, I use to host a free walking tour in Los Angeles, and now Atlanta. I'd be happy to be your guide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host people whenever I can: I couchsurf a lot and also try to help new people move to Atlanta and coach them into a new world. I also give tours and pub crawls.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Where do I start? I have traveled to all of America; every single state. I have hosted in Chicago and Los Angeles. Backpacked Europe for three months surfing. After that I did a mini-tour of the Midwest performing stand up.

I've been hosted in Europe, US, Peru, South Africa, India, etc.

Interests

Acting, comedy, history. Traveling (duh) reading, getting stuff done, camping, free stuff, checking off lists, working out, cooking, languages, dancing, bucket lists, boxing, being the best at something.
