About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a documentary filmmaker and am studying to become a habits coach to help people attain healtier lifestyle habits.

ABOUT ME

I've been in Austin for about a year and a half after living in the Hill Country of Texas in Fredericksburg. I'm excited to get to know this city that I used to visit a lot when I was in College, many years ago.

I love connecting with new people and sharing experiences, particularly about cool places to travel. I completed a Permaculture Design Course about a year ago and now film inspiring permaculture projects around the Austin area.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hosted a few people when I lived in Vegas a few years ago and it was great. It would be cool to get to know more people through this movement.
