I'm a very energetic, critical thinker, and I love making people laugh. I am interested in almost everything related to reality, most particularly commerce, economics and finance. But I also like drawing and story telling. I think my favorite kind of night is one sitting around with some friends hashing out a plan or analyzing a problem. Not sure if all that makes me sound square, but though I'm philosophically pro-legalization, I don't partake in any illicit drug use. That almost certainly sounds square, and I'd be happy to explain why. I'll go out and have drinks with friends, but I typically drink the least of anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a relatively new to LA north easterner trying to start my own consulting practice. I've been crashing on friends' couches and AirBnB'ing since getting here, and I am hoping to meet some new people in LA.

Rather than crashing on a couch overnight, I'd like to post up at a nice table and bash away at my computer and chat with a host. Maybe during the day, maybe in the evening? Not sure if people use CS for this purpose.

Interests

Finance, psychology, bicycling, philosophy, languages, politics, photography, drawing, gymnastics . . .

I like a grip of dumb things. My friends back home always told me I had too many interests but at this age, I have gotten pretty deep into each of them, so I don't feel like a jackofalltrades at this point. I love hearing about new and different stuff.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since unsubscribing from the access googleplay, I've not been able to keep up with new happenings in music, I like hiphop and its derivatives, I'm usually less interested in Rock but I like some of that too, and folky alternative stuff is nice to listen to, but I have yet to be impacted by any of the lyrics. Probably my favorite music is the best electronic music (loads of that stuff is repetitive garbage). I especially like the late 90's triphop stuff, portishead, massive attack etc. I also like the glitchy stuff like justice's first album cross.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing? Mmm. . . I think something funny I did was get my car stuck in a sand pit at 2am and then stole (temporarily) a bulldozer to pull it out. Vacation road trips, wow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn more about eastern cultures, particularly china.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bet I can sell statistics to you in a way that is useful to understanding your everyday world. I have a wealth of knowledge related to legal issues at a general level because of law school, I think I also am a pretty good sounding board for business ideas.

I'm a conversationalist first and foremost; so a nice yak attack is my main offer.
