CURRENT MISSION

Determined to execute on the next-big-thing ! Getting involved in my community and leveraging my education/experience in my personal life.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun, easy-going, open-minded guy. I get along with most people and go with the flow of things at most times. I'm resourceful and am good at crisis management.

I am a Mechanical Engineer working as the Business-Guy by day - I manage suppliers for a SemiTool manufacturing company - they make Machines that make Computer Chips or Smartphone Chips or Solar Cells or LCD TV Displays.

PHILOSOPHY

It is said that Thomas Alva Edison attempted making a light bulb about a 100 times and failed before he finally invented it. The only reason we have LED lights today is because another person tried a 1000 different things to make the light bulb better. I strive to make the monotonous task of "try n try again" seem a lot more fun than it should be!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like travelers and hosts, they tend to have a free spirit. Every Hostel I have visited has been an amazing experience and I want to bring home a bit of that vibe (at least until I accumulate enough to open a travelers cafe in Kashgar or something!)

Algo increíble que he hecho

I was an English teacher in Southern China for half a year. I found the job a week after I landed. I must say that it was by far the best job I've ever had.
