I am a disciple of Jordan Peterson’s philosophy. I Grew up in Jersey now living in California. The winter in the East Coast is brutal and my preference for warm temperate weather all year around led me to settle in San Diego. My alma mater is San Diego State University (SDSU) and there are tangible benefits to having the university one graduated in the same city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've served in the US Navy and have traveled to many distant countries.

One country that sticks out is India. I've seen poverty there that is un-imaginable in Western standards. Upon my return to the USA; gratitude level towards my life increased exponentially.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My condo is centrally located in San Diego's Gaslamp. There is a couch the guest can use.

Wi-Fi and there's a hair dryer for the ladies available. There's a gym downstairs and a common area with BBQ grill that is overlooking the convention center. (South)

Further, insight of the inner workings of San Diego can be shared, and contingent upon time-constraints I may be able to show my guests around Gaslamp and Little Italy.

Guests will need their IDs verified.
