I'm an audio nerd and a big fan of beer. I can point to you to some good music venues and breweries in Chicago. I've got a 10 y/o boxer dog who loves to sleep and play.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and explore new places. Couchsurfing seems a proper way to accomplish both. While my apartment is not yet ready to entertain guests, I hope to have it in order shortly.

Interests

Audio and music - creating and listening.
Drinking beer, and exploring beer culture.
Ditto for whiskey, except I can't make it... yet.
Reading.
Playing with my dog.
Exploring Chicago.
