Yo', I'm an aspiring game develop from San Francisco. By that I mean, I'm still working full-time at a swanky SF tech company while spending all of my vacation time trying to shill the game I'm developing so I can start a game development studio once I leave.

I'm a pretty nerdy and out-going fella, not much for physical activity though I do rock climb due to an adjacent gym and a strong desire to keep this shitty body from deteriorating any further.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need to get to conferences to try and shill my game relentlessly to innocent passersby and/or any publishing entities will to give me money to continue developing it so I'm continuously burning into all my savings which I would rather be spending on random crap I don't need.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list. Music wise what I listen too depends on my mood, but my tastes range from punk rock, to metal, to happy-hardcore, to k-pop/j-pop (back when they were ripping off 90s American synth-pop), to jazz.

Film wise I mostly just watch Japanese cartoons, and bookwise I'm mostly into the American/English Warpoets era stuff as Roman Empire era literature (I did a Lit minor, would've done it as a major if I didn't like not being poor more than the subject.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Technically" I've made an award winning game.

Teach, Learn, Share

Now let me explain to why Siphon Brew is the apex method of brewing coffee... *insert incoherent rambling about negative vacuum pressure here*

What I Can Share with Hosts

Self-deprecating humor, endless conversation about coffee, video games, and culinary arts. Also if you want anything local from the Bay Area I can provide (especially fancy craft micro-brewed/distilled booze) so long as it's not insanely expensive or cumbersome (I travel lightly and typically don't check anything in).

Also stories. I love stories way too much just to keep 'em to myself so if you're interested in that kind of thing, allow me to regale you with tales of the past. Naturally of course the most interesting stories require a few drinks first!
