CURRENT MISSION

Perform with my band across the nation and world!

ABOUT ME

I'm an open, laid back, inquisitive guy. I've traveled around a lot of places in the world and am kind of settled in Iowa City, IA. I play with a band, Euforquestra, that travels across the United States playing world-beat music. I have a tendency to be quite animated, but very serious at the same time. My sense of humor ranges from absurd and wacky to dry and sarcastic. I enjoy a variety of kind of people, and usually people enjoy me. I hope to be able to offer the same hospitality that I've received from people in my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to live life seeing and experiencing everything that I can in the world while giving as much as I can in return.
