CURRENT MISSION

I'm a photographer, traveling to expand my understanding of people and place, and share the experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm a photographer and new media artist from Cincinnati, currently living in Pittsburgh working on different video and new media projects. I produce video for a music venue/events organization called VIA. The work that's most important to me is my documentary photography work which is a reflection of my experiences as a young, gay man.

PHILOSOPHY

If you want to know, you must go, so now go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started using CS, but for the moment, I'm a traveler looking to meet new people and learn new things!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once before with a friend who used the site, and it was great! Looking to start traveling again in the summer and embark on a new road trip!

Interests

I love traveling (especially driving) and meeting new people in new places. I like to take portraits of the people that I meet, and expand my understanding of local history and culture- as told by the people I meet.
