CURRENT MISSION

To discover the lost city of Awesometown.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, and seeing the World. In my spare time, I mostly like to see live music, play music, hang out with my friends, run, hike, read sweet books, watch movies, engage in robo-dance parties?, and generally...have fun.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm here to enjoy life, people, and music. Anytime I can return the favor, my day is officially made.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Most people in Dallas, Texas have never heard of Couch Surfing. Seriously...my co-workers think I'm crazy, and my friends are super skeptical. That said, I'm a fan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed on many a couch (pre-couchsurfing)...probably 50+, for various amounts of time. Sometimes I even fall asleep on my own couch...like when golf comes on TV. Via Couchsurfing, I've surfed on 2 couches, a floor mat, and a pillow. So basically, I'm a verteran surfer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Berlin for New Year's Eve (2008/9). Techno + Pub crawl + Fire-breathing dragons = Awesomeness.

This just in: NYE in Berlin may have been topped by NYE in Cusco, Peru. Absolute madness! In a good way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've studied Finance and have been involved in the Finance racket for 6 years. If you have any interest in the Economy (U.S. or Global) from an Insider's perspective...I hope I can shed some light. I used to work for a group that invests in Environmental businesses, so I love talking about the green world (but I don't drive a Hybrid...Sad Panda). Also, I attempt to play the Bass guitar / Drum machine / Synthesizers...so if you have interest in learning poor instrument-playing habits, I'm your man.
