About Me

CURRENT MISSION

music. couches. getting an unfiltered view of other cultures.

ABOUT ME

I play music and with my upcoming travels I hope to meet fellow musicians and collaborate while out in a different place in the world.

These are the bands I play in:
Skeleton Farm (facebook.com/skeletonfarmtulsa)
Only the Bugman (on rare occasions, onlythebugman.bandcamp.com

I have a couch available. I want to meet people of different ideas, cultures, and values and learn about the world that way.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think this life is a preliminary for something else. Create your own happiness/heaven and live life on your own terms. Learn from everyone everyday. Create your own meaning.
