About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn my way around New York and make friends

ABOUT ME

I'm a tech entrepreneur moving back to the East Coast from Silicon Valley. It's like a stereotype going backward through time. I'm excited to meet more New York startup people.

I'm also down for playing some music: blues is usually my favorite to play with people I don't know too well, but I'm a metalhead at heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is my first time using the site, but when I moved to San Francisco two years ago, I spent my first two months in the city living with various friends and relatives. I have friends in most big cities in the US, so I rarely pay for hotels.

I've also hosted many people in my house, some for months at a time. This includes my good friend Andrew, who I met when he stayed with me for a couple weeks, a friend-of-a-friend from Japan (who could really shred on guitar), and a Marine who had just gotten back from Afghanistan.

Interests

I tend to be more about relaxed nights with lots of conversation, but do enjoy the occasional rave or goth club.

I'm always on the lookout for good metal. I really enjoy playing blues, and bring an acoustic guitar when I travel.
