Hi, I'm David. I make websites and sometimes make video games. I enjoy deep conversations, creativity, and ear flap hats. I am pretty independent and that is probably what drove me to start my own web consulting business right out of college. I love my job since it is intellectually challenging and allows me to move around at will. My someday goal is to finish making a computer game and get it on Steam. In my spare time over the last several years I've livestreamed video game programming on Twitch.tv, a curious concept that involves ~40 people watching my screen as I write computer programming code. The internet is weird and silly but also pretty neat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because I have lived in a small town my entire life and have finally decided to get out and see the world. I am visiting Europe this fall to teach at a college in Lithuania, and when I get back I want to move to a city.

Because my work is completely remote, there is no real reason to live anywhere in particular, so I'd like to visit a lot of places in order to see what cities I like the best. Couchsurfing seems like a great way to meet cool people who know about their city.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang the Veggie Tales Cheeseburger song in front of my entire college for the "Reject Night" talent show and somebody even got it on camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKPkhNF6GqU

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how about Voltaire's Candide.

I am learning the Ukulele and the Tin Whistle and would love any tips.

I can share some recipes for curry I've been experimenting with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am more than happy to cook and clean for anyone willing to host me.

I can provide advice on starting a career in freelance web development or advise about how to improve your web presence.

If you are feeling especially social we could even hang out on my Twitch.tv livestream and do something in front of an audience.
