I live in Cleveland, Ohio. During the warm months I lead public art and garden programs, as well as build small homes, cob ovens, outdoor kitchens for clients. I also help run a local bookstore and community center and help with programing throughout the year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment, I'm looking for housing while taking a class at Yestermorrow Design/Build school in Vermont, Feb 6 - Mar 5. I just bought a house and will be rehabing the garage into a guest space, which I would like to offer to couch surfers, probably by the fall of 2016.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to share experiences in building, farming, and organizing projects in cities. I can also help clean, cook, and move heavy things.
