About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Climb every mountain in Scotland

ABOUT ME

I am getting an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management, and since it is an MBA in Global management I would like to understand how the rest of the world thinks and acts. I am attending one semester of school at the Helsinki school of economics. I love to climb mountains. i have climbed in many places around the world including China. I love to visit museums, see movies, and any other active sports. I will be working in investment banking this fall in the UK. I am not the bookish type, but I like to invest money.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to be lived. It is far too short to be lived on the couch, therefore, i do not own a TV, so I have never had the opportunity to sink into a couch too deeply. I would rather build three companies, than talk or read about building three companies. Books are to emulate, not to worship.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by doing things with people from other cultures, particularly painting sea shells and putting them back in the ocean. I also enjoy going to the theatre, opera, and symphony. I like learning about new cultures and new things that people can teach me. After all I am attending, Thunderbird. The global MBA school.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was couch surfing in Helsinki, Finland at Henni Ahvenlampi's flat. It was great! I got to learn all about Finland, and the cultural exchange was awesome. I reccomend everyone couch surf whenever they can. Since I have had such a positive experience... i now want to couch surf wherever I can.

Interests

Soccer, fishing, football, baseball, rock climbing, reading and Politics.(no just kidding)
I like reading books. action, mystery, suspense-thriller, and comics. There is nothing deeper sometimes, than a good batman comic book.
I also enjoy reading investing books, and attending auto shows. I have attended auto shows every year of my life since I was 8 years old.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbed mountains, flown airplanes, water skiied, taught at a university, gotten 4 college degrees, started a business, and built houses. The most amazing thing, is to help a person become and do something with their life!!
