CURRENT MISSION

simplicity. stepping forward into things rather than hanging back too much.

i'm into listening - to places and people. there's so much to hear if you listen...(!)

ABOUT ME

i grew up in baltimore, a strange troubled and wonderful city on the east coast of the US, and now live in brooklyn, where i take care of kids and write plays and make theater.

i'm heading out to montana this summer to see some friends and lend a hand on some building projects.

PHILOSOPHY

there's so much i don't know.

it's a strange and beautiful world.

patience and curiosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing!

But I've hosted and been hosted informally by friends and friends of friends up and down the east coast of the US. I'm hoping to keep building those big broad webs of generosity.

Times I've been grateful for hosts' generosity have involved a road trip to conduct interviews for a musical on radical environmentalism, tours of plays I've performed in, trips to see friends' plays I didn't perform in... A lot of plays, I guess. And couches and new friends.
