CURRENT MISSION

Experience life. Adventure. Be happy. Be comfortable. Be uncomfortable. Commit to something. Quit something. Love. Make art. Have fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm a HUGE music lover! I manage a band called The Fat Catz and I work productions and promotions for several other bands. I usually hit at least 2 shows a week between Richmond and Virginia Beach. I'd rather get out and live life than sit around and worry about what might happen if I got out and lived life. I love life. I'm an actor, an artist, an outdoorsman, an adventurer and a spiritual person. I embrace optimism, wisdom and new opportunities. I work as a substitute teacher and theater director at a local high school and I love what I do. I'd prefer to spend the little money I have on an experience rather than a possession.

PHILOSOPHY

If life is a series of experiences and connections, isn't missing out on those experiences and connections, death?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't yet. You will determine how I actually participate. I would like to host as well as travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do have some experience with being "the guy on the couch". When I began classes at VCU in Richmond VA I crashed on some friends couch for a while until I found my own place.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to do something, you can make it happen. All you have to do is try. Is anything really impossible? The power of the mind is amazing.
