I'm an American who has been living in Canada for the past 22 years. I studied music, play the bass, and work as a front-end web developer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to use this website ages ago before it went subscription-based. Checking it out again as I embark on a trip to Finland. I'm not looking for a place to stay, but I'd love to meet the locals or other travelers on my trip!

Interests

Music, programming, meditation, math, dogs, reading. I love the outdoors (hiking, camping, snowshoeing).

I'm vegan and love to cook. I've never tried alcohol but promise I'm still a fun guy.
