Overview
About Me
Avid Traveler & Entrepreneur.
I'm born and raised in San Diego, CA.
Skateboarder, Surfer & Nature Lover. Love to play guitar, take photos, work with technology to improve the world and write... But, I've got some bigger plans I'm working on as well.
Never drink, smoke or do any drugs... Never have. A bit of a health nut at times, but a still pretty balanced individual.
I'm a pretty open, honest and transparent person and I enjoy meeting people of the same mindset. I'm social and not much of a shy person when it comes to interacting and meeting new people.
I'm hoping to find a nice quiet place to spend some time, get to know people and really explore.
I'd love to cook you a good meal! Or maybe we can grab a bit at great local place.
Love to travel like a local and really absorb as much culture as I can.
Meeting amazing new people and having adventures is my thing.
Any questions just let me know! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
One of the greatest gifts to the modern traveler is this site... you can meet the best people, in the best places. It's a community experiment that is really working and has grown so much over the years! I'm excited to host and be hosted. Wherever there's a group of people taking care of each other, it's a special place. ... and that's what Couchsurfing is to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This is a big question, haha.
Most recently, I enjoyed floating in silence in the middle of Lake Tapu, New Zealand. Sometimes mother natures greatest noise can be her silence.
Getting stuck in a snowstorm while hiking the Himalayas in Kashmir.
Running into the Shawn army while trekking through Burma.
Running my own businesses.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you about creative writing, photography, surfing, skateboarding, american culture and politics, web design, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, programming, marketing, market research, cooking, business and how to run a successful startup. Maybe some cooking too.
I'd like to learn about everything! I love to swap stores and help inspire each other.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A great conversation, a great meal (I cook), a new friend, some adventures around your own city, a new perspective on things, help with business, photography, or anything else. Help around the house, garden, etc. :)
And of course, you're always welcome to stay at my place (private bedroom) 1 block from the beach in Oceanside California.
