I am a playwright living in New York, and I also have a little bit of culinary training. I'm a low-key, friendly, and respectful person. I don’t smoke and I drink very little. I love theater, film, and cats (I have a lovely 20-year-old cat named Bartholomew). I also like to hike and bike, however my favorite thing to do is walk around a new city and explore.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have hosted a lot in the past--it's a great way to meet interesting people--and I've done a little bit of surfing.
Music, Movies, and Books
Lately I have been interested in new music (I’ve been meaning to get Nathalie Joachim’s new album), independent film, and nonfiction books (mostly research for my various projects).
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I’ve hiked to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite.
Teach, Learn, Share
If you like, I can teach you a few phrases in American Sign Language, which I am currently learning.
What I Can Share With Hosts
If there is time, I'm happy to cook for you, or perhaps we can get a bite to eat and share travel stories.
