I bring adventure with me wherever I go, and I love falling in love with people.

I'm a father and a advocate for people to start their own businesses. I have started multiple technology companies and am a management consultant, especially in the areas of social strategy and design. I am on the Board of Advisors for multiple social startups including Mazii,org, Egobag, and The Alba Project.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of seeing the world through the eyes and couches of a friendly host. I travel to discover how people innovate in different parts of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm listening to Black Keys, Jack White, Hozier, and all the legendary blues guitar greats. I enjoy jazz and rock very much, and I will sing out loud to almost anything :)

I LOVE MOVIES. As for my favorites, I love dramatic movies with great directors. For instance, I love everything Christopher Nolan has done, especially Memento. Also, Stanley Kubrick, Alfonso Cuarón, David Mamet. There are bunches of spy movies and heist movies I could watch over and over again.

I read lots of books about data science and startup culture. For fun I read spy novels or anything by John Grisham. I've also been reading poetry (E.E. Cummings) and I am reading Goldfinch right now for a book club.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was a teenager, I used to sing in an acapella boy band and once sang a barbershop song with the President of the United States.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fix computers and electronic devices. I teach people how to use social platforms like Facebook for business and career development. I cook amazing scrambled eggs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an excellent conversationalist. I love developing leaders and supporting people who are starting their own business. I play games and have much much fun.
