Resume aside, I'm an all around nice guy. I'm always laughing and joking. Never met a stranger. I entertain for a living so I'm super gregarious. Always willing to go the extra mile to help someone. Extremely polite and considerate. Teach me something I don't know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to meet new people and share experiences!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bartended for Oprah and she said I was cute. Haha

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowing all kinds of food/wine/spirits/beer is my expertise. I can cook on a professional level. Pretty serious forager. Big time gardener. Have given pool lessons professionally and these days I'm just happy to play. And I'm all about anything involving the water. Swimming, kayaking and fishing are hobbies of mine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in my tricked out stealth van on the west side of LA. Anyone that wants to learn about the van life or how to live at the beach for free in Malibu is gonna want to talk to me...
