CURRENT MISSION

Traveling college campuses and promoting the launch of new e-commerce website and triple-faceted initiative called "Cheetah Cares" encompassing communal, environmental, and young entrepreneur sponsorship motives

ABOUT ME

I am a very outgoing, positive person that is just trying to find my passion in life. I grew up in Silver Spring, MD (nicknamed the Melting Pot because so many cultures reside there) which is the immediate surrounding of Washington, DC and am very grateful for that opportunity. I am very gifted in knowing about different creeds, religions, and cultural backgrounds being that I was exposed to so many at such a young age.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be anything but happy and anything less is a waste of time and emotion. You never know unless you try and trying says a lot more than those who are so afraid of failure that they never try. Finally, it's not all about you and it is very important to contribute to other people, communities, and the environment at large.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to try out couchsurfing, see how it goes, spread the word about the movement via word of mouth and my website, and hopefully accommodate others after the college campus tour is over.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard tremendous stories about CouchSurfing but haven't really participated yet. My business partner and I anticipate on CouchSurfing from Maryland down to Florida for 6 weeks starting October 13th as we go on a speaking tour for our business. I am extremely excited to get started!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been a part of NCAA and NCLL men's lacrosse National Championships as both a player and coach.

Building Cheetah into a worldwide business and creating an entire marketing and online campaign with our minds.

Teach, Learn, Share

Given that I come from a small business background, I have a lot of professional experience in economic analysis, social networking, online marketing, and building lasting professional relationships. I also came from a devout Southern Baptist home so I am a firm believer in treating others properly, hard work, and contributing back to the community in which you operate. Finally, I read a ton regarding personal development so I'm always ready to converse about that topic for hours on end.
