CURRENT MISSION

Get back into traveling.

ABOUT ME

I live with my friend and roommate, Mark. He's a graphic designer, and my profile includes pictures of him.

I'd like to write movies or be an astronaut. I have a BA in screenwriting from Chapman University, and am currently writing and producing a feature as a hobby. I have no astronaut credentials.

I like talking to people. I'm optimistic... sometimes INTENSELY optimistic.

PHILOSOPHY

Talk less; listen more. This is hard, but I try to do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted a lot for a year in Gwangju, Korea. Now I'm in California. I've also done some work for this very site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of hosting. Lots of surfing.

Interests

Long stories, drunken rock-n-roll jams, eating new exciting sea creatures AND I'd call couch surfing one of my interests too.
