CURRENT MISSION

To learn to speak Spanish at about the same level as a 5 year old.

IMPORTANT:
Couchsurfing is NOT a dating app!
Please, if you want a lady to go home with you try something else!
Couchsurfing is an opportunity to meet people from the world with a similar outlook and a desire to close the gap on cultural differences without prejudice or compensation. KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS, buddy. This ain’t Tinder.

ABOUT ME
I'm the product of two NYC artists and some other stuff, like DNA and H2O

I was a fashion designer for 8 years and now I am an art director for film and television. I also work in the music industry on and off It's a crazy job. Always 12 hour days, sometimes 6 day weeks.

INTERESTING AND AMUSING:
An autistic child that went on a field trip to the zoo once. He disappeared from the group and when the teacher finally found him (soaking wet), he had a penguin in his back pack. He is my hero.

I'm have my own theme song. It's an adapted version of Van Halen's 'Panama'.

PHILOSOPHY:
Do no harm, and don't be a dick.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a superfan of music and film, I don't read as much as I should. I'm too easily distracted. I can't begin to list my fav's, because otherwise I’d crash the internet.
Here's one of each:

Movies: Trainspotting

TV: Flight of the Conchords

Music: Sigur Ros

Book: I started the new one by David Sedaris, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, but I can't find it.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Pakistan. I stayed for 3 weeks with two friends. And mushing in the Arctic.

Teach: How to whistle and hum at the same time. (Seriously, I can do that.)

Share: Anecdotal stories, a pleasant drink, my vast and awe-inspiring knowledge of miscellaneous and useless information.
