CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Cody! I'm a comedian, video maker, casual cook and fermentation enthusiast, and a musician! I'm going to be traveling in France for 2 months this summer / fall before I move to NYC. I love to play guitar and sing folk song, have dinner parties, make cheese, and have good conversation over good coffee :) I'm super laid back and respectful, adventurous, and enjoy being social. I'm down to stay up late and talk or drink or walk around or play music or play chess. I will cook for you!
