Hello there! I'm a 28 year old musician who holds his spirituality as a focal point in my life. I love spending time outdoors, in fact I thrive in nature settings. It fills my heart to help and inspire people in anyway I can whether it's holding space for someone, hearing them out or driving halfway across the state to rescue a stranded friend. I'm always looking to expand my consciousness and knowledge, sharing philosophical ideas is always a great past time.

I spent most of 2016 doing a live/work trade gig on a ranch in Southern Washington set in the foothills of Mount Adams. The ranch is also set on a vortex and holds a very special healing energy which made for quite the introspective and rejuvenating experience.

This past December I moved from Washington to Los Angeles to join my friend's band Velour Afternoon (velourafternoon.bandcamp.com). I've been living in DTLA focusing on music and working at various farmer's markets selling a very nutritive coconut-based probiotic yogurt called Coco Rico. I'm very interested in the healing/intuitive arts as I feel it is my calling in life to help people this way. I practice Reiki and am looking to learn other holisitic healing modalities as well.

I've recently decided that LA is not the best match for me so I'm returning home to Connecticut to reevalute some things, so I will soon be making a trek across country from Los Angeles to Connecticut.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My current reason for being here on Couchsurfing is to crash with some righteous folks as I make my way from California to Connecticut.
