Oh man, describing myself. Here we go. I'm pretty passionate about circus arts; been at it for nearly ten years, moving from one skill to the next. Currently trying to learn aerial arts, actively working on 3-ball juggling.

That's somewhat taken a back seat to a project I'm working on writing tablet software that allows you to create geometric tiling patterns. Working on finding a balance, but it's tough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been kindof a traveller in my life; lived in the woods with hippies, went to Hong Kong to study tai chi, Burning Man a couple of times. I'm in a more hide-and-be-productive part of my life right now, but I enjoy traveller types and facilitating them. I especially enjoy introducing them to the less-known things to do in Albuquerque, and sharing circus arts.

Interests

Circus. Tai Chi. Philosophy of mind and such. Dancing. Spontaneous adventures. Art. Things and thing and things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Artsy things. I breathe music, anything with a soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've behind the front lines of riots taking pictures. I've seen amazing sunrises and sunsets because I live in New Mexico. I met a crazy homeless man named Spacin' Jason in jail who ought not to have been there. I met the oldest member of the Yang tai-chi lineage and was there for his 92nd birthday in Hong Kong. I've partied the sun up, amongst good friends on porches and amongst strangers in the dust of BRC.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach what I know pretty much every chance I get. If you're in town, I encourage you to hit me up for lessons on circus things.
