Road tripping from Los Angeles to New York then back again!
I'm an animator and illustrator. I want to make cool stuff and make people laugh. I don't take myself too seriously. I like being silly.
Moved to Los Angeles from Long Island, NY for my job in September 2012. No plans to move back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm embarking on a big road trip from Los Angeles to New York to spend the summer with family, friends, and go to a few weddings. I've barely traveled in my life and I've been wanting to drive cross-country for years. I finally have a great opportunity to do it.
20 days of travel East.
6 weeks in New York.
20-30 days of travel back West.

I'm planning on keeping a travel sketchbook and turning it into an art book after my trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once said "That's what she said" that simultaneously applied to two separate statements in two separate conversations going on around me. Proud moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach something about drawing or animation.

I'd love to learn more about your city or town. About music and comedy.

Share a beer or a glass of whiskey. Art. Embarrassing stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I might make you laugh. Maybe I'll draw you something, and maybe you'll get drawn into my book.
