About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rock n roll til I die

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old american guy. I live in Harlem, NY with my cat + some friends where I'm currently working and doing my thing. Most of what I've ever done professionally either involves making music, making electronic devices which make music, or teaching computers how to understand music. I'm a vegan but it's OK if you're not, and I love making and eating food. I like to be relaxed as much of the time as possible. I try to be on my bike as much as possible and love fixing + building bikes.

PHILOSOPHY

1) No cop outs
2) Kill em with kindness
3) Attitude is everything
4) Always assume you're wrong

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to give people a place to stay if they need it! And I hope to be able to do that things myself, too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I joined this site I couchsurfed in Nebraska with a guy named Brent who was really excellent... now I've hosted and surfed across the globe, and it's been awesome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited Teufelsberg outside of Berlin, an abandoned allies camp built on top of the rubble from WWII which buried a Nazi college and used to be a ski slope.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you fix your broken electronics (especially music/audio gear), fix your bike, teach you to cook good vegan food, and I can explain the processing and analysis of music signals.
