Friendly, creative, humorous guy who enjoys making things with technology. I do web-based art projects and experimental electronic music. I like to ride bikes, motorcycles, hike, run and experience the outdoors in any way I can. I love traveling and meeting new people where they're at!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm interested in building connections across arbitrary lines -- state, national, political, cultural, ethnic. I am currently driving across the United States with my partner Deryn, looking for new friends and hangs with folks across Texas and the Southeast!

Música, películas y libros

Open to many kinds of music! I make weird electronic music but also love all sorts of pop, country, jazz, etc.

Books-- currently reading The Mushroom at the End of the World, about matsutake mushroom harvesting in human-disturbed pine forests and what this can teach us about capitalism and human interdependence! I love books like this that cut across disciplines and combine many different approaches to understanding the world.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Successfully navigated a lost group of backpackers out of the rugged Chiricahua Wilderness in Arizona! The sun was going down and we couldn't find the trail, but I stayed calm and led our bushwhacking troupe through a ravine towards running water and eventually the car.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can show you how to use a modular synthesizer (traveling with mine) / teach you about how to make music with electricity.

I want to get better at
* Spanish/French -- wanna practice?
* Meditation -- any form that you practice and want to share
* Cooking different foods -- would love to expand my culinary horizons and learn about new dishes from you
* Listening to the sounds of places around me -- want to do a walking tour and make some audio recordings?
* Being vulnerable and open with strangers -- let's have an honest discussion about your world
