CURRENT MISSION

Making music and growing as a father, husband, musician, scholar and martial artist. Getting after it!

ABOUT ME

My first goals in life were to be an inventor (when I was 4) and a rockstar (when I was 5). Still working on it :). Still searching for a sound... What would it Sound like if Flying Lotus and The Smiths had made Music? If Radiohead hooked up with Dr. Dre? If Madlib made beats for the John Lennon?

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My sister got some sleeping bags delivered to her one day before our departure to the desert of Namibia. She simply posted "Help! Need sleeping bags to go camping asap" and a friendly Namibian living in Cape Town totally went out of his way, increasing the length of his drive by 40minutes to bring her the sleeping bag. He didn't even think of asking for them back, but we later meet up in Windhoek and had a beer with him and his brother. Incredibly friendly people, which then motivated me in becoming part of the CouchSurfing community.
