CURRENT MISSION

Complete a feature length film. A really, really bad feature length film. I'm talking Manos the Hands of Fate meets Baby Geniuses.

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Industrial Engineering. My job takes me around the US (and hopefully other places eventually), so I'm determined to learn as much as I can about the people and places I find.

What's important to them, why did they fall in love with where they live, and how are they different then the people I know?

Part if this is to help me in my filmmaking ventures (creating new characters, making humans seem more human), but I also want to learn more about places I've never experienced outside of a talking 2-d screen.

PHILOSOPHY

When else?
Someday your knees, hearing, memory, sex drive, and bowel control will be a distant memory. That may be today, tomorrow, or 50 years from now. Until that silly day (I fully expect to take advantage of senility via shoplifting from Toys R Us, woo), I want to push and enjoy what I have.
When else?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my couchsurfing experience has been through my friend Jennifer and my roommate Alissa hosting other people. I've always been impressed with the people I mee through couchsurfing, and I hope to host new friends myself if my job decides to stop flying me out every week.

Interests

Ultimate frisbee, finding exotic food that usually involves a dare, film and filmmaking, singing, breakdancing, and finding the ultimate pair of pants.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While it may not be 'amazing,' I still feel like this was one of my better moments. A hate group called 'Homo Sex is Sin' comes to Georgia Tech every year to express their free speech in a way that is legally disgusting. My friend and I just happened to want to express our free speech as well (below).
