CURRENT MISSION

To explore the various perspectives the world has to offer: to train martial arts around the world, and work constructively in a global landscape.

ABOUT ME

I am first and foremost an open and caring person. I am a lifelong martial artist, and a filmmaker living in Atlanta, GA - currently working as an actor and director in the film industry.

I like extreme sports, intellectual conversations, and group activities, but I will try most things once.

PHILOSOPHY

The way of Tao- live and let be. Many structures exist to restrict us, but freedom comes from a place of mind, and a right of heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
