CURRENT MISSION

To encourage enlightenment one person at a time, starting with me.

ABOUT ME

I'm a all around good person. Respectful. Tactful. Yet fun and youthful at heart. Always good for good clean fun. Definitely a open minded "live and let live" kind of person.

PHILOSOPHY

"Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly." ~Albert Einstein, quoted in New York Times, March 13, 1940

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to share experiences and knowledge, even a place to stay on the occasion. This started as kind of a "pay it forward" thing for me as there have been kind people throughout my life that have opened their home to me, shared a meal or ideas. Now I just believe in the underlying ethos of this concept: that people overall are more altruistic than not.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the privilege of hosting a handful of Couch Surfers... yet to try my hand at Couch crashing myself. Soon!

Interests

I love to travel, read, play video games, soccer (football) and to eat and try new things and meet new people and experience new cultures! Making people laugh. Giving good advice. Helping those around me. Fixing things. Seeing things from a completely different perspective. Troubleshooting. Learning.

Lol

Video Games: I have a Xbox 360... Gears of war 3, Mass Effect, Black ops, the Halo series... Pretty much games that I can pick a headshot off from the other side of the map... Lol. I like playing online with my brothers and cousins in Cali a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked in Forensic Science, I've been in a major production movie, executive producer of a Jazz CD, met amazing people (including quite a few celebrities). I've been fortunate enough to have great life experiences and would love to add more. Beefing up my eulogy, I guess you can say. HAHA

Teach, Learn, Share

Bring a little of your world with you to share when traveling, people are curious by nature.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lot's of good conversation and laughs! I'm literally the easiest going person you'll probably meet. I'm all about good, positive vibes (karma, anyone?) and surround myself with the same type of people. Love to keep good connections with good people all around the country and world.
