About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To uncover rugged trails throughout life and blend with communities and cultures that are foreign to what I know best

ABOUT ME

I am a filmmaker from San Diego, CA. I moved at a young age to Raleigh, NC. Since, I have returned to San Diego and moved up to work in Los Angeles. Recently I have traveled and worked in Wrightsville Beach, Cape Cod, and Upstate New York. I am finally settled down in New York City working as a cinematographer. I look forward to working on future projects that will continue to bring me around the globe. I have not had the desire yet to stay put in one place. So, I will continue to roam the earth as a nomad until it is physically impossible for me.

PHILOSOPHY

"Im drawn to open country. It's where everything becomes clear, where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there, I always return with something new. A friend once told me: The best journeys answer questions that in the beginning, you didn't even think to ask."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host CSers as often as possible and thrive on going to meetings in cities around the world to share drinks, conversation, and laughter with such an amazing group of people. I have had the opportunity to surf four times and each experience brought insight and friendship to my life.
