CURRENT MISSION

To help people create new habits and change the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mindfulness expert living in Portland OR. I used to live at a Zen Monastery. I also used to work for a rock band. I've lived a bunch of lives but this one fits me the best. I help people by listening and encouraging them.

I'm super laid back, I love watching roller derby, and I can jam out on the guitar.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a budding Zen Buddhist and I am a patch work philosopher I take what I can what makes sense and make it work. I dig the Dharma.

I run my own business in portland helping successful people be their best selves at home and at work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few couches and all in all I've had great experiences. Some folks I've clicked with really well and a couple of my best friends in Portland are folks I couch surfed with. It's a great way to meet people and really travel instead of just commuting across the country.
