Originally from NY and my whole family migrated to Oregon. Musician by night, I'm in the up-and-coming electro-swing band High Step Society. I play bass and keyboards, and manage the band. Arborist by day, I climb and care for trees, and run my own small business, Goodfellers Tree Service. I also am Chief of a collective of artists, musicians, and assorted weirdos who occupy an old firehouse in the Whiteaker neighborhood of Eugene, OR.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done a lot of exploring of the world, and am hungry for more. Also, I love meeting new people and so I'm interested in hosting people here in Eugene when they need a place.
