CURRENT MISSION

Running a nonprofit, the House of Good Deeds, which I cofounded with my late wife, Yuanyuan. Visit us at HouseOfGoodDeeds.org and help us help others.

ABOUT ME

Met my wife Yuanyuan on Couchsurfing! She hosted me in Shanghai, and 4 years later we got married ;-)

Otherwise, where to start? Find me on Facebook. Or Google. Or Wikipedia.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything TWICE - just in case you didn't get it right the first time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love living in NYC!!! And I welcome anyone who wants to visit our fair isle of Manhattan :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had dozens of both strangers and friends crash at my apartment/s in Manhattan over the years, but only started doing it officially through CS since 2009. Totally worth it!

Interests

Sports, sun, books, and fun.

• books
• sports
• baseball

Music, Movies, and Books

Princess Bride, Kill Bill, and Moulin Rouge are my favorites...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pitching in the professional Israel Baseball League for the Netanya Tigers has been an amazing experience, very different from my years playing professional baseball in the States.

Ooh, ooh! I did a TED Talk on polyamory! Check it out: https://youtu.be/FtdsZ8B7JQY

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a former professional baseball pitcher and could teach you how to pitch, the rules of baseball, how to throw a ball, or simply talk about what it was like, if you want to know - and maybe go to a baseball game if you want to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great apartment in a luxury doorman building, a comfy couch, and recommendations for great local places.
