CURRENT MISSION

Helping elect a better president, from my new perch in Ohio

ABOUT ME

I was born in New York City, raised in the suburbs, and have lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the past 16 years. Currently, I am residing in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I am working full time on the Barack Obama campaign. In my other life, I run a consulting firm that raises money for charities. I play guitar and chess, though not as well or as often as I would like. My cat takes care of my house when I am away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Twice in my life, I have chosen to give up my home for six months and stay with friends and family for a few day a time. The experiences took me out of my comfortable routine and connected me to others in ways that were unexpected an enriching. And none of would have been possible without the generosity of others. I am currently living with good friends in Cincinnati who are taking good care of me while I focus on the election. Want to read a lot more? Visit ohiosurprise.wordpress.com.
