CURRENT MISSION

you know how a good idea is useless unless you can communicate it well? I'm a marketer/entrepreneur/traveling hobo, seeking to inspire others, build community, and make every day a good story to tell later around the campfire.

ABOUT ME

I know people, and I'd like to introduce you to some of them. Watch parkour on youtube and want to step out and try some? I know a guy, he teaches for free right now. Like playing Clue but don't have anyone to play with? Boardgame club, I'd love to invite you. Down for hiking or people watching at the zoo? (so much better than animal watching at the zoo). Let's do it. If all else fails, we can trade dream stories and travel tales down by the river.

PHILOSOPHY

- do at least one thing every day you're afraid to do.
- If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
- if you love life, then don't waste time. For time is what life is made up of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to make your stay here in Portland awesome, mainly by introducing you to cool people... seeing how I don't have a couch to offer at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen life-sentence inmates connect as a community, and turn into the first healthy family I've ever had. How strange is that?

Teach, Learn, Share

There's a lot of stuff I 'know', but man... that's not interesting. Here's what I'd rather share: You know those days where you go to bed, and you're like... 'man, today was awesome. There are some pretty rad people in the world, and I'm fucking lucky to be here'. Those are the kinds of days I want to live, and you kind of have to share them with other people before they can happen like that. As far as /particulars/ go though... ever made kim chi before? I'll get you the hook-up. It's some good stuff. Better way to make a new friend than drinking coffee anyway, right?
