Well, I've been told I am a creative film & video professional for over 21 years that often travels outside of my hometown, Minneapolis, MN for my career. I recently moved to Santa Fe, NM (for the 4th time) to work again with the LANL Foundation and various other interesting filmmaking projects that arise in between.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because of my career I hardly stay in one city for a very long time. But, since Santa Fe is like a second home to me and I'm starting getting tired of traveling for work, I might figure out a way to stay here for longer. Usually when I come to work here I end up living here for at least 1-2 years.

I love meeting interesting new characters and SF certainly has plenty of them.
All I have with me in my possessions is my computer, HD camera gear, clothes & bathroom items.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list but if you'd like to talk about it over a bowl of Vietnamese Pho Tai sometime, that could be fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Collaborated with musical artist - Prince, for over ten years - Directing. filming and edited various music videos and live concerts for him.

Teach, Learn, Share

At the age of 18 and barely out of high school, I snuck into a movie theatre to see Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner”. After three viewings and several hours later, I emerged with an electrifying desire to manipulate moving images.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a quiet but outgoing, compassionate, artistic person who respects all walks of life, privacy and space. Kind of a clean freak (my moms side), but don't let that scare you...I'm not too picky about those sort of things. As long as I don't have to dwell with slobs and pick up after them. I rarely make large meals and I always clean up after myself. I actually find doing dishes therapeutic because it gets me out of my head. I don't mind doing others as long as it's not a huge pile up to the ceiling. For the most part I stay in my room working (Editing) or watching one of the hundreds of movies I have on my computer. I can be a hermit at times but I also can be very social.
