I am a full time musician/performer. I travel and tour through cities performing shows and building audiences the grassroots way. I love what I do and I love meeting new people. Usually, I travel with my wife, Jessica (on the left in pic above). We live for creating music, connecting with people and experiencing new ideas and ways of life!

PHILOSOPHY

Do onto others as you would have done onto you! I surround myself with good people and always look out for the best interest of others. I understand the importance of having people lend a hand, so I lend mine when the opportunity presents itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Before I joined CS, I had hosted many musicians, bands and promotional workers that had come through Cleveland. As an active member I hope to make my couch more accessible to others on the road when I am at home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our experience with hosting others has been great. We provide two comfy couches as well as a blow-up mattress. We have also had the opportunity to couch surf in Nashville with a group of musicians that offered their couches, shower and even an amazing breakfast, in Buffalo with Mike who showed us the entire city and all the stuff you'd never find out about staying in a hotel, as well as various other places across the East Coast. We hope to have people stay at our place and make it fun and relaxing for them in return!

Interests

I love independent music, female singer-songwriters, I love FOOD - we went vegan about 6 years ago and I am more than ever very into creating meals around garden fresh vegetables and eating at local restaurants that provide fresh, local foods. I enjoy yoga, working out, runs and staying active and fit. I also teach guitar lessons on the side and enjoy all the people I work with, from children to adults.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the indie music scene, especially chicks with guitars. Ani Difranco, Melissa Ferrick, KT Tunstall, Indigo Girls, Joan Baez, and many more. Love documentaries, always trying to learn, as well as reading books pertaining to the music business and work by non-fiction writers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to open for one of my long-time favorite artists, Melissa Ferrick, in Dayton OH at the historic Canal Street Tavern.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are constantly striving to learn more every day, from the music business to a health conscious way of life. I have so much to offer in terms of music, foods, art, music history and more!
