Grew up in Brooklyn, NY. Moved to Los Angeles to do Hollywood things. Now I edit comedy videos for websites like CollegeHumor, Buzzfeed, and Funny or Die.

I can talk about storytelling endlessly, but I'm getting better at stopping when nobody is listening.

I used to act. I'm a pretty good singer. I love the intricacies of language and regret that English is the only one I speak well. I have a dry sense of humor which may not translate well in other languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a member of the community since 2009, though I don't travel very often. I have hosted some members in New York and had some very gracious hosts in Paris and Edinburgh.

I think it's a great way for people of different cultures to share their worlds and show each each other a unique view of their home cities and towns.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was pulled out of the audience to perform in a Broadway show when I was eight. I got to attack a man with a giant hammer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I CAN...
mix classic cocktails
juggle
kind of play the harmonica
talk about digital video at length
play guitar

I'd be happy to try and teach you any of those things but I can't promise results.
