I grew up in a small suburban town in Massachusetts. For university I moved to Washington, DC, and fell in love with city living. After several years in the DC area post-graduation, I moved to Berlin to fully pursue my musical ideas. I play drums in the band PLATTENBAU and also work as a touring concert sound engineer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting new people from all over the world and sharing with them the wonders of Berlin.

Interests

In addition to being a drummer and sound engineer, I love to bike and walk around Berlin, exploring the streets. I am also trying to relearn forgotten skateboard tricks from my youth, and teach myself to play the guitar. And, I am training for the Berlin Marathon happening in September 2015.
