I'm a musician, a writer, and a traveler.
I play and write music that coincides with the book I'm writing, Monarch in the Manifold. I love listening to music, having drinks with friends, trying new foods, and helping others along their journey.

In 2013, I started a nonprofit organization (Illinois Independent Arts Association) in Springfield, IL to help public schools raise funds for youth fine arts programs.

I play guitar, drums, bass, and sing, as well as record music for friends' bands and my own. I also sell electronics as a day job at a local specialty store in Springfield, IL for home and commercial use (home theaters, projectors, TVs, speakers, networking, etc.).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am embarking on a personal book/music tour across the United States to get my music and my book out there. Looking to find friends and allies along the way and would be very willing to help out in any way I can while I am staying in places along my journey.

Talents include: graphic design, writing copy, photography, recording music/video
