About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the parts of this country that I have not yet seen and to share the music I create with as many people as possible

ABOUT ME

He's a witty, talented, entertaining, loyal friend who has a great desire for fairness and seeing dreams come true. (DISCLAIMER: I asked my wife...)

PHILOSOPHY

I feel life is all perspective and I believe that there is joy, kindness and happiness everywhere. Whether or not I can see it, is up to me. I also feel that the world is perfectly imperfect and that any change I may want to see in the world starts with me and how I carry myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now my main, immediate goal is to tour the country expanding the audience for the music I create. As I have a home base in Atlanta, in a co-housing community, I would eventually like to host folks as well.

Interests

I really love my work which is playing music. It is my absolute favorite way to spend my time. Either performing, composing, working on new arrangements or listening to it. Hands down, music.

I like spending time with my family and playing games such as Uno, Scrabble, Yahtzee and others.

I also live in a co-housing community in Atlanta and while I do like having time to myself, I really enjoy taking breaks and simply walking through the community, visiting with all the folks who live there.

Also, I don't drink, smoke or use any extra-curricular substances. My only vices are coffee and pretzels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Marrying my wife (15 years ago) and watching my son being born (7 years ago) would have to be two pretty awe-inspiring milestones in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been happily married for 15 years. My wife and I have been thru many, many things and yet we seem to grow closer the more time passes. I've seen a thing or two on the relationship front. I've been a parent for 7 years for whatever that's worth. I've taught guitar on and off for years and I've been a professional musician for over 15 years. My father passed away when I was 17 years old and I have spent numerous years going through the grief process and it's many, nebulous stages.
