About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I seek happiness, enlightenment, wisdom, and the perfect pizza.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very mellow, generally intellectual, artistic fellow with really thick hair. (I know, the hair comment is totally irrelevant and random, but my mind works that way sometimes.) I'm mildly spiritual but not religious, mildly playful but not wild, mildly shy when in groups but love a good one-on-one conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Honesty is the best policy.
2) Do unto others (I hope you know the rest)
3) You get better results with honey than with vinegar.
4) Treat people with respect until the prove they don't deserve it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel a fair amount for business. I think it might be interesting to do some couch surfing from time to time because I usually end up staying at hotels alone in cities I don't know and it's kind of boring.

For now, since I have a roommate, I'm not planning on hosting. I'd like to see that change soon, but she doesn't want to move out yet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never tried it before...no idea what to expect. I heard about this site from a model I was shooting who used it to find places to stay in L.A. while she was looking for work. She'd had good experiences, so I figured it might be worth a shot.

Interests

Is this really pertinent? Music, movies, tennis, golf, photography, hiking, really good desserts, creative people, writing...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - too many to mention
Music - anything but metal and angry/sexist rap
Books - anything good! Preferably fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Atlantic on the maiden voyage of the Disney Dream was pretty groovy, I suppose. I don't know, I don't tend to think of things I've done or seen as "amazing." Hugging Eva Longoria was pretty amazing. I'd like to do that again sometime.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm...I suppose I'd have to say, "See interests." I also know a lot (unfortunately) about computers and A/V. One of my many jobs is designing screening rooms and programming smart-home control systems.
