About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make music, make friends and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I am a professional musician trying to make it in the Philadelphia/New York jazz scene. I am a friendly, easy going and loyal introvert who tries to make the absolute best of every situation. I love to meet new people, dance and go on adventures(big or small). I always try to have a smile on my face and strike up a conversation with anyone who smiles back!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life trying to find a balance between striving to accomplish personal goals an trying to enjoy every single moment of life. The best experiences for me have been successfully combining the two.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

None, but I am exited to get started! I have heard nothing but glowing recommendations from friends I can't wait to get out there and see what I find.

Little Dragon
Black Star
Frank Sinatra
Parliament
Bon Iver
Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine
Frank Zappa

Books:
Just started Wheel of Time. Favorites Include Dune, Dark Tower, Sword of Truth, Game of Thrones and A Brief History of Time. So, Fantasy/Science Fiction/Science Fact

Movies:
Haven't seen any movies recently worth listing. TV shows...Dr Who, Arrested development, HIMYM. I am unbearably exited for the reboot of the Cosmos series with Neil deGrasse Tyson!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I spent a summer In Spain taking language classes and making friends. Playing music with some great philly musicians!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you love music I have a lot to teach. If not, I'm afraid next on my list of useful skills is staying up too late and then sleeping in.
