I grew up in Boston, moved to NYC after college where I started my career in graphic design and marketing . After 8 years I was ready for a new challenge and moved to Los Angeles for 25+ years. My latest adventure has me in Austin, an amazing city filled with energy, great people and an incredible outdoors culture. I am gay man who is always searching for new adventures and challenges around the block or around the world. I have a life filled with good friends, two adult kids and am always open to meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, but haven't had many opportunities recently so CS allows me to meet fellow travelers and learn about other cities and cultures. I'm a recent transplant in Austin and always enjoying sharing all that Austin has to offer with others
