CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I enjoy a good time and Aha moments. Anything that is thought provoking is perfect.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile, laugh, work (for more than a mortgage)... the rest follows

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

1) Robert Parham the magnificent never stopped talking up couchsurfing.
2) I have a spare room (but only limited authority over it in a shared house).
3) I have an upcoming pilgrimage... to NYC... for the NFL draft. Seriously, it's been on the sports bucket list with a good buddy fr a half decade. Time to achieve!
4) (1)+(2)+(3) = new couchsurfer

Interests

-Fun (I went to Arizona State after all...)
-Inane pop culture
-Corporate finance (I chose this as a career :) )... which is a subfield of my broad interest in economic-y things, like human progress
-Sports (and tragically, the Detroit kind), thus the NYC trip
-I've taken up cooking house dinners on Mondays. The recipe journey is underway.

Music, Movies, and Books

Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster, this would make for a long list. I do love me some movies, so I'll put two here and defer the remainder to a meeting:
- Hot Fuzz is insanely rewatchable and rewarding
- Star Wars Episode 5 is classic

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paris was cool. Hiking the Grand Canyon with pneumonia on a snowy morning was mind blowing. The Pacific is big. The Lions won 4 (4!!!) games this year.

Teach, Learn, Share

Fundamental fact: sharing ideas/things/experiences makes the world a better place. Yes: sometimes those ideas are destructive. But more exchange is the great elixir.

That and reproducible experimentation and invention. File under: Curiousity, Unstoppable.
