About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Making the world better one laugh at a time
ABOUT ME
I'm an artist at heart, currently trapped in a technical and business lifestyle. I'm more passionate about music than anything. Throughout my 20's, I dedicated myself to building my own recording studio, write music, playing live, touring etc. I've always had a 'duality' life with IT during the day and music by night - a superman from white collar shirt into black t-shirt. hehe Lately, I've been travelling so much for my IT business that the music has escaped me. I've been making up for it by writing poetry, sometimes about funny experiences I have with new people I meet. hehe I've also found a love for learning about different languages and cultures. I learned some Tagalog earlier this when and really enjoyed the hospitality in the Philippines!
PHILOSOPHY
Work hard, play harder, laugh even harder!!!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been on the road about 90% of the time over the past few months for my job. I've been trying to meet up with CS'ers in whatever city I land in. I'd love to host, but I haven't been back home for more than a day or two at a time!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've only had the opportunity to meet up with one person so far. It was such a fun experience. I've also attended some 'meetups' in other cities and really enjoyed those as well. :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music:
Metal, 80's, Early 90's Seattle Scene, Meditation Music
Some pop and rap, 80's, comedy. I appreciate anyone who writes and records music that they are passionate about. Since I own a recording studio, I hear a lot of styles of music that I barely knew existed!
Books:
Anything that expands my mind on an entrepreneurial or spiritual level. Just to name a few:
The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I drove through the flaming gorge in Utah. I was taken away by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains in Utah and Wyoming.
