CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to go and see the world, meet and help people, and educate and change myself as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

I love change, and I love people. I appreciate those moments in life when everything seems perfect, simple, and right. I am a little crazy and ridiculous and am willing to play the fool as it often opens people up. If I want to learn to do something I will learn to do it. I am always ready for some fun but know how to work. I don't know what else to say but am not bashful so if you have questions don't be afraid to ask. Also I believe in the use of the Oxford-comma.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe I should do some great, ridiculous, and selfless act on a regular basis and tell few peole about it. While I am inbetween these acts I believe I should try to make everyone I encounter happier for having met me. I believe in beauty. On top of that I love conversations about religion, philosophy, politics, or whatever between reasonable people who can appreciate another's view. I will tell you more specifically what I believe if asked in person but feel it serves no purpose to others until that point.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like most music and hate genre discussions so some examples I like are Flume, SBTRKT, Kitchen Dwellers, Ludovico Einaudi, and other eclectic schtuff.
Movies: Anything that makes you think or laugh... or just good eye candy (special effects and videography) without plot. I'm easy to please.
Books: Again, not picky. The Little Prince, Slaughterhouse 5 and Sirens of Titan, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Harry Potter... of course. Rant is potentially my new favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've pulled off a triple heel click in one jump, oh and I've made canoli.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be willing to teach anything I know: I play piano, am educated in basic design and composition and perspective drawing, I know the basics of the Adobe design package (photoshop, illustrator...), I am good with numbers, I am proficient with Rhino and some other 3d modeling programs and have 3d printing experience, I have tons of card and bar tricks, I have basic skills in Italian, German, Spanish and Mandarin. I have a little experience in an American-Japanese kitchen. I am also willing to discuss anything else I know. I love games and trivia so have little tidbits of info as well.

I would love to learn to cook more. I am interested in most anything presented to me. Currently I would like to learn about wood working, animation, electronic music production, travel tips, and more languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch and an mattress pad. A kitchen and bathroom. A network of people to point you in the direction to get what you want from Bozeman.
