About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do it while you're young; sleep when you're dead.

ABOUT ME

In 2009, I moved from America to Germany to see a different part of the world for a while. Well, long story short, I'm still here. So far it's been the best decision of my life. Just looking to meet cool people, have a good time and learn as much as I can about everything I can. So if we haven't had the chance to meet, I hope we do!

PHILOSOPHY

"We must not confuse dissent from disloyalty. We will not walk in fear, one of another, we will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason. If we dig deep into our history and our doctrine, we will remember we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who dared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular."
- Edward R. Murrow, 1954

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been out of the game for the last couple of years for a few reasons, but it's time to start contributing again. I'll host if I can and hope to take up surfing again as soon as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few times back in Detroit and it was a great time. Since I've moved, I've surfed a few places, met some great people and made a lot of great memories.

Interests

history, cooking, music is huge, meeting new people, a stiff cocktail, technology, reading, engineering, learning, traveling, culture, language, environment, laughing, living. Oh, and trivia.

Music, Movies, and Books

From underground hip-hop to jazz piano, I have a pretty wide taste in music. If it's danceable, I'm not likely to be sitting still. When it comes to reading, I like books about science and history.

Movies: Oldboy, Berlin Calling, Star Wars!, Battle Royale, This is England, Layer Cake, anything by Tarentino and anything with one or more zombies.

Music: minimal electro, tech house, classic rock, hip-hop, jazz, trip-hop etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I packed up my entire life and moved to the other side of the world to learn about life, language and culture outside of North America. Now I've got a little company I'm trying to get started and the best friends imaginable. Not much to complain about!

Teach, Learn, Share

I see people the same way I see music. Nobody can say that they don't enjoy a certain type of music because, somewhere, there's always one song that'll make you put on those dancing pants. Open the mind.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Canada, Cayman Islands, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Jamaica, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, United States
