ABOUT ME

I'm a musician from Brooklyn. I go back and forth between years of touring and doing music work in New York City. As of September 2012, I'm about to tour for 15 months, mostly playing guitar for the indie pop band Darwin Deez, and also playing bass for Young Jean Lee's play, "We're Gonna Die." In between tour legs, I will travel / couch surf / have adventures! When I'm in New York, I give piano lessons, play organ at churches, and play in bands. As to what kind of couchsurfer I am, I'm easygoing, polite, clean, independent, responsible, and most importantly, friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Do no harm. Follow your heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have no permanent residence, at the moment. All my stuff's in storage in New Jersey. Thus, I am only surfing, not hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed a lot in the lower case sense of the word, but Sept 2012 is my first plunge into the formal realm.

Interests

My aim every day is to bring beautiful art into the world. I love performing, recording and writing music.

Beyond this work, I dig seeing new corners of the world and making connections with all the different people living here.
