Overview
About Me
I'm a twenty-something guy trying to survive an artist's life in LA! Went to college for filmmaking and have recently started doing on-camera hosting for a company called CONtv that covers comic book conventions across the world. Before last year I hadn't really traveled much and I started to regret not seeing more of the world so I'm trying to travel as much as I can before turning 30! I love craft beer, comic books, and learning new recipes to cook (though I can't promise they all taste great!)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As I said, I had realized that I hadn't seen much of the world in my twenty six years of living so I'm really trying to get out there; seeing the world is only half the adventure though, I really want to meet new people along the way as well and using Couchsurfing is a better way to do so rather than staying in hotels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
After years of strictly working behind the camera in the film industry I accepted a spontaneous, last minute in-front-of-the-camera job at New York Comic-Con and made a lot of awesome friends and connections and now it's something I love doing!
What I Can Share with Hosts
A great sense of humor, an awesome palate for craft beer, a fun partner in crime for a night out on the town and a cool insight into the film industry in Los Angeles / the comic book scene!
