CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the US producing a documentary about the Corporate Theft of Democracy in America

ABOUT ME

I've lived all over the world for the last 15 years for fun, experience, work, life, etc. more recently I have been living in Central Mexico in a small town in the mountains.

I'm fun, friendly,courteous, clean and have a lot of interesting stories to share from my journey so far in this crazy life...

PHILOSOPHY

Momento Mori... so do what you gotta do as long as you don't hurt anyone. And as the tattoo on my brother's arm reads: "Never ever ever ever give up" - he got that off Churchill but I don't think Churchill tattooed it on himself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am on the road this summer with my friend and co-producer Terry, filming a documentary about the Corporate Theft of Democracy in America. We are interviewing some of the leading voices in the ongoing discussion surrounding this issue and are currently on the final leg of shooting.

It's a grassroots production, with the two of us doing everything and as such, we are trying to put all the available funds we have into getting the project produced. We figured that becoming part of the couch-surfing community would not only be a good way to keep our costs down but also an interesting way to meet people, hear their stories and spread the word about our film!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've definitely surfed a lot of couches in my travels but this is the beginning of my couchsurfing.com experience. I have no doubt it will be a positive and fulfilling experience (for the most part) and i'm eager to get it underway!

Driving the Dempster Highway into the Arctic Circle with my brother in my little shitbox beater car.

The Pinnacles Desert at sunset in Western Australia... Just go there, you'll get it.

Burning Man... Go there too, you'll definitely get it!
