About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to its fullest while defining my purpose here

ABOUT ME

I will continue to be that blazin ball of energy that explodes on to the scene...love me...hate me...you will notice me...and like it or not...you will remember me.

PHILOSOPHY

Life may not be the party you hoped for...but while you are here, you might as well dance.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh...beneath this mask there is an idea...and ideas are BULLETPROOF.

Beware of those individuals who hang out with you for no apparent reason at all, you are in danger of finding a true friend.

Time is Money ONLY for those People that make Money with their Time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just got back to H-TOWN from a wicked 2.5 year stint in NYC. I found this great org in NYC and use to be a regular at Revival. Now I am looking to meet up with fellow surfers in Houston.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of socials with unique and interesting people from all over the world! I love the fact that surfers leave their ego's at home and just live and learn all while having a good time.
