I lived in China for 7 years from 2007-2014. I'm fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

32 year old guy from America. I enjoy rock concerts, theater, graphic design, computers and traveling when I can. Love food from anywhere. I drink and I know things.

I opened up three coffee shops in Changsha and I'm enjoying life wherever I can find it.

PHILOSOPHY

There's middle ground somewhere

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Fight Club, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, V for Vendetta, Sin City, 300, El Mariachi. Those are all the "cool" movies I like I enjoy nerdy stuff like Napoleon Dynamite and Office Space too.
**Jackie Chan (Chen Long), and Jet Li (Li Dian Jie) are amazing.

Music: I like Rock, punk, acoustic, Jazz, blues, hip hop. My bands of choice are Incubus, Dave Matthews and Portishead.

I really like to read Fantasy Books. Anything by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.

I love Steinbeck's Cannery Row and I'm a huge fan of Japanese Manga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting up everyday is pretty exciting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an American from Nebraska, which is the Middle of America. It offers a slightly different culture from the East, West or South.

My accent is American English and it's very clear. Midwest Accents are often used as TV Broadcasters and phone salesmen.

I have a pretty vast knowledge of the key places in Xiangtan as well as Changsha for foreigners (but I can always learn more)

I'm great at fixing computers and doing Graphic Design as well as teaching and acting. (My degree is in theater)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can wash dishes, do your laundry, tell stories, fix your computer, design some logos or do some consulting on a business you have or simply be your drinking buddy and much much more! Call now!
