About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm always looking to have a good time, no matter what. I live a great life and am looking to share it with other people from around the world. I live in a great area in San Francisco and I love to share fun experiences with new friends.

ABOUT ME

I currently work in Venture Capital. We invest in companies and help them grow. I'm the son of two former US Army soldiers. That allowed me to travel around the United States and I also lived in Heidelberg Germany for three years. I'm a former college football player and I love to stay active.

I'm very familiar with the area and have lived here for over 5 years. I live in the Marina and was crowned Mr. Marina 2013. For more information on the competition please check out the links below:

PHILOSOPHY

I live life for the story. I believe that your story lives far longer than you do so I try to capitalize on every opportunity I have. I'm known for doing fun things just so I can tell someone the crazy story that comes from my adventures. I'm also always looking to have a good time no matter what, and I believe that there are no bad days. I'm never too up, or too down. I try to stay right in the middle, even keeled.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking forward to hosting people as well as sharing someone else's couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am very used to moving. I moved every three years growing up. This has allowed me to make friends very quickly. I am very used to change and I can adapt quickly. I feel like my entire childhood and college years were spent couch surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of movies. Action, Horror, Comedy, Independent, Foreign. I judge a movie based off what it's purpose was. So I will say a corny horror movie is just as good as an Oscar nominated film as long as they are accomplishing their goals.I love music and I go to tons of concerts. I love hip hop and I'm getting into Electronic music.I read a lot, only non-fiction. I like to learn when I read so I'm always looking for intelligent authors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you many things. How to get around SF? Where are the best places to hang out?

I also love to share. I can share my knowledge of the city. I can share my many connections and friends, I can make introductions that could benefit you in your personal and professional life.

I'm looking to learn more about people. I'm a life long learner so this will never stop!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge of the area. Good times. Great stories. Introductions to new friends. Recommendations of fun places to visit.
