About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm looking to change the world...or rule it...whichever works out...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 420-friendly writer, whistleblower, and all-around nerd. I'm a simple guy - all it takes to keep me happy is a roof and WiFi.

I love animals (and they tend to like me), don't take life too seriously, and am honest and up-front in all my dealings. You can Google my name or username if you'd like to know more - I've got hundreds of blogs scattered throughout the Interwebz.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile...if for no other reason than to piss off your haters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch-surfed with friends, but I've yet to crash on a stranger's couch.

Interests

I spend a lot of time on the the internet. I love riding my bike through the city, enjoy all kinds of food, meditate, do yoga, watch movies, and keep up on current events.

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes...all of them...mostly comedy, hip-hop, and reference material, but I've consumed a lot of media in my time...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011, I leaked internal Bank of America documents to the media through Anonymous. The story hit international news, and changed the entire course of my life. I've cost the banking industry more money than any bank robber in history.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're into tech, I can teach you anything you want to know about Anonymous, digital security, the Internet, computer hardware/software, search engine optimization, etc. from square one to advanced topics.

I'm a freelance writer and consultant, appearing on radio (AM/FM, both domestic and international), podcasts, TV, newspapers, and magazines. If you're interested in media, freelancing, or how to be an independent contractor, I can help.

I'm a bank whistleblower who worked at Countrywide/Bank of America through the peak and collapse of the housing market. I've worked with nearly every federal and state financial and insurance regulator in the U.S. and was involved with Occupy from the beginning. I can teach you everything you'd ever want to know about any of that.

I love learning about sustainability, hearing stories, etc. I'm a writer - it's what we do.
