About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To listen, learn and share

ABOUT ME

Funny. Creative. Make them think.

PHILOSOPHY

Instead of listing a book.. I'll capture with one simple action that covers it all:

Moment to moment awareness...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a dry sense of humor. I like to entertain.
I can also be quiet and read a book if you want me to
I ALWAYS have something to read on my ipad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think the closest I was to couch surfing were the Youth Hostels I stayed at in Italy and France. It was nice to instantly connect with complete strangers and bond. A very human experience indeed!

Interests

Music and the arts. Lately, tech companies are fascinating, because they are operating on principals that are totally different than Fortune 500s. Soon we'll see long tail, niche type businesses sustaining our country instead of the few, huge companies.

Music, Movies, and Books

being a musician... too many to list.
Im into business books lately. It's like I'm getting my masters

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got 2 of my pieces in the NY Moma permanent archives.
I got to work very closely with some famous people, who are at the top of their game (you've heard of them, and I'll tell you when I meet you)
I feel like Zelig sometimes, Im always around things/movements/people that are about to be big/famous. Is it that I AM good luck? or I HAVE good luck??
Im very aware of my surroundings...

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach.. and even have many positive reviews from my students.
I learn from everyone. Im a sponge...
I can converse on just about any subject matter.
Try me.
