About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Following bliss

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. Both my parents were songwriters and my mother was a session singer for RCA.

I am a short film producer and director as well as a 3d modeler and animator, currently developing videogames.
I used to work at Stanford, hosting a webinar for the Stanford Geriatric Education Center.
I like helping other people improve there lives and try to make the world a better place when I can.

I tend towards shyness at first, one of the reasons I travel is to conquer the inner shyness.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything that you experience has something of value to teach if you are open to the lesson.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I encourage people to pursue their dreams passionately, at least when they are cool.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was traveling through Northern England and my friend Alice was going to college in preston, she invited me to stay for 2 weeks, it was wonderful, I met all the flat-mates and we would cook dinners together in the shared kitchen and go hang out at the local Pub, had a lot of fun.

I have friends that I visit from time to time all along the west coast, I will stay for a couple days and help them out. Some want me to stay with them, they don't want me to leave.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Europe with my nephew TC in 1999 to watch a solar eclipse that was on my birthday. Originally we were planning on going to Romania, but while we were in Prague we met a musician playing the didgeridoo . We asked him where he was going to be playing next and he told us about a rainbow gathering in Hungary.
We decided to go to the gathering because it was in the path of totality, the experience was amazing!
