CURRENT MISSION

To hell with circumstance. I make opportunities. My goal in life is to get into adventures and not get stuck in one place. Also to be as excited about life as Jeff Goldblum.

PHILOSOPHY

I know not all that may come, but be it what it may I'll go to it laughing.

Try to lead an interesting life and no matter what your life is like, try to find a way to wake up every morning and just be happy you can put your pants on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, meeting interesting folks and exploring the world! There's a lot to say about how we make connections outside of our normal social circles. I relish the chance to get local first-hand experiences/perspectives, as well as sharing my own. Most importantly, show me your favorite burrito or tacqueria!

Interests

I blast podcasts during my driving or biking commute, chill with friends over beers, catch flicks, hike, imbibe, exercise (mostly running), pose with statues, collect and drool over Film inspired screen prints (the ones I don't have space for), and practice German. I also like to sleep and live my second life where I get all of the above done in a few hours.

Favorite movies: Star Wars: A New Hope, Rear Window, Memento.

Current TV shows: Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, The Flash

Books: Kitchen Confidential, In Cold Blood, Harry Potter, Layer Cake, ASOIAF

Music: The Rolling Stones, The Black Keys, Arcade Fire, The Gaslight Anthem, The National, Portugal. The Man

I'm a devout follower of the comedic gospel of Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Aziz Ansari, and Donald Glover.
