I'm a software consultant that's lived in Chicago for three years. I enjoy live music, reading, abusive amounts of TV and volunteering in my free time. My favorite hobby is cooking and it's a hobby that's more enjoyable with others!

Struggling at learning to play the banjo -- so any musicians are welcome to teach me anything about music theory. Also, if you're an artist, I have a khaki fabric-covered hydroponics cabinet that could use your artistic touch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to start experiencing new places in more genuine ways.. and be able to travel more by spending less!
