About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Personal Revolution

ABOUT ME

After graduating from college in Florida with a business degree, I moved to Japan for three years and experienced more adventures than could fit in a hundred of these boxes.

I'm in Silicon Valley trying to figure out what to do with the program I made and enjoying the pleasant weather.

PHILOSOPHY

"Naseba naru. Nasaneba naranu. Nanigoto mo, naranu wa ningen no nasanu narikeri."

Essentially: If you try, it will happen. If you don't try, nothing will happen. It is humanity's obligation to enact change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Let a friend live on my couch for a year in college. Stayed on a friend's couch for 3 months while we worked on some software I designed. I've slept on various couches and let people sleep on mine in various parts of the world. I've found there's no greater motivation to get out and succeed than sleeping on an uncomfortable couch for a little while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two weeks ago I jumped in a mountain waterfall with ice all around and thought I was going to drown when my feet couldn't touch the bottom of the basin anymore. Good times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd be happy to share a little Japanese.
