Mild mannered business owner by day, this caped crusader turns into a playwright and producer by night. No actual super powers--can’t fly or fight super villains--BUT armed with a good sense of humor and a strong satirical streak, which can get friends and foes alike thinking or laughing. lol

Currently traveling and seeking partners in crime(Ahem, crime-fighting) to have fun with :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hi, I just joined Couchsurfing. It's pretty exciting to be connected to a community of nice people from across the globe! I'm traveling throughout Europe in late July- August. After teaching English at a summer camp, I'll be free to explore other cities as well.

It’s nice to see all the sights of a new city, but I’m even more interested in people. Whether it’s understanding a new culture, learning its history, or just sharing in good conversation, I look forward to making new friends. We might have a deep connection through a thought provoking discussions... or joke around and laugh so hard until our stomachs ache. Either way, we'll have fun!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Co-founded a popular satirical news site
-Wrote and produced two Mockumentary films and appeared in several film festivals....

Teach, Learn, Share

I like discussing ideas, as well as connecting with people. I'm a good person to bounce ideas off of and get useful insights from and I love to be helpful. There's a lot we can share while discussing creative concepts, entrepreneurial goals, current affairs, or something personal like love, family, or personal growth. Diverse perspectives challenge complacent ideas and bring out our intellectual curiosity. And it's always fun to have an "aha" moment!

At the very least, we can learn each others' language and talk about our different cultures. Good things happen when positive, well intentioned people come together :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I haven't traveled as much I'd like to, but I've done some interesting things in my free time. I'm happy to share anything that interests new friends. Would you like to know what's involved in making an independent film? Or the difference between directing actors in sketch comedy vs. improvisational styles? How about a discussion about satire or the role of entertainment in influencing social and political movements.

If you have any interest in American politics, media & entertainment, or cultural trends in general, I've written and spoken on these topics and can provide unique insights. Bring some friends. When it comes to "The Donald," there's never a shortage of interesting conversation! Lol
