CURRENT MISSION

Play music, stay active, and crack jokes, and explore all life has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am a goofy guy who tries to play and write music for a living. I try to have fun in everything I do. I like talking with others, being active, and playing music. My loves in life are God, hockey, and music. I graduated from the Univ. of South Florida where I am going for a masters degree in Jazz Composition. Some fun facts that aren't in the description above are I enjoy meat-lovers pizzas, I like to watching Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the Planet Earth series (though not one after the other), I played goalie in hockey all my life though I'm transitioning to basketball now, and I have traveled the world working for Royal Caribbean.

PHILOSOPHY

The soul of one who loves God always swims in joy, always keeps holiday, and is always in a mood for singing.
St. John of the Cross

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed at friends houses all throughout my life, but have never done so for strangers. However, I am more than happy to both accept and give services to people in need.

My best Couch surfing story is when I stayed with my cousin in SC and just went on little adventures from bars to friend's houses. Although it makes for a lousy story, it was still a lot of fun.

Interests

I love music, whether it is being around music, performing, or teaching. My time management reflects my passion for music, but I also enjoy to stay active. Playing sports is something I really enjoy as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I was left awestruck was when we stopped by a small ranch house out in the middle of Iowa and my good friend and I played soccer on this immense back yard as a gorgeous sunset faded off in the background. Another time is when my friends and I climbed this huge sand dune in Holland, Michigan to catch the sunset over the lake. Finally, seeing Kenny Baron play at Hope College was such an amazing show.
