I am a playwright living in New York, and I also have a little bit of culinary training. I'm a low-key, friendly, and respectful person. I don’t smoke and I drink very little. I love theater, film, and cats (I have a lovely 20-year-old cat named Bartholomew). I also like to hike and bike, however my favorite thing to do is walk around a new city and explore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have hosted a lot in the past--it's a great way to meet interesting people--and I've done a little bit of surfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like, I can teach you a few phrases in American Sign Language, which I am currently learning.
