I live in Oakland, California, and run a small creative agency that exclusively serves nonprofits. Check it out at http://creativeforthepeople.org.

I'm doing my best to live life deliberately I believe in kindness defined as the practice of doing good things for others without hope of reward or fear of punishment. I live with my brilliant partner, our precocious kiddo, and three beautiful kitties.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I've hosted and surfed many times over the last decade, and all have been fantastic experiences. I want to keep supporting and being supported by this community!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I used to be a plumber so I'm good with pipes. I'm pretty outdoorsy, and a decent Kayaker and Caver. I'm pretty good at drawing logos and building websites and shooting/editing films.

As for what I want to learn? Everything! Especially skills and languages.
