About Me

Before settling in LA, I lived and hosted in New York City, London and Texas. In a previous chapter of my life, I was a competitive hurdler and runner, as well as a professional athletics coach. Today, I'm a traditionally published author dedicated to transforming people's stories into compelling books and films.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
