Hello my name is Derek, I'm an artist, video game developer, animator who studies fun for a living. I grew up in downtown Calgary and know this city very well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently following my passion, which doesn't always pay the bills.
I am preparing to travel with the main goal to see the ocean as I have never done so.
At the same time I will be creating my independent video game full-time.
