I'm the CEO of a 100+ person tech company. It keeps me busy, but when I'm not working I like nothing more than to experience another culture.

I traveled extensively when I was younger and relied on the generosity and kindness of others. So I'm trying to give back, and selfishly I get a tremendous amount of satisfaction from helping others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been active on CouchSurfing since it was just getting started in 2006.

It's incredible the way its transformed and grown, and I think its one of the best ways to immerse yourself in a culture that's not your own.

The fact the people are willing to help host others, just to do it, is remarkable to me and represents what is good about being human.
