I'm a nearly-thirty-something college dropout with a positive attitude. I'm a science fiction writer with a universe to sell. I'm a piano player with two decades' experience. I'm an amateur web publisher with production values. I'm a slave 4 U.

I've surfed in the Midwest, southeast, Northeast and west. I've taken the bus, train, hitchhiked, and tried to hop a train. (I tried to hop on at a service station; the cars weren't moving.)

I collect compact discs, cassettes and vinyl. I read comic books and library books. Novels and history books.

I do the dirty work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to enhance my experience on Planet Earth.

Plus, I accidentally fell into being homeless in Austin. So I'm on couchsurfing to alleviate today's poverty.

Speaking of poverty, did you know that there are 100 million working poor in the United States? And there are 18,000 CS hosts in Austin. You do the math.

My favorite couchsurfing experience--if I had to pick just one-- hasn't happened yet. It's with you.

Interests

My band, Knight, is experimental with soothing rhythms and bizarre spoken word. Check them out at thelightprojects.bandcamp.com/
They'll be on youtube soon.

I'm working on a novel, one with fancy, rich characters. Invite me to surf your couch and you may end up being one of them. C'mon, it might be fun!

• tv

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked from west Michigan across Toronto to upstate New York and back in 2008 to see my brother, who was in the Army, stationed there. I was very lucky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook, clean, talk, write, uplift, explore, listen.
I can take "No" for an answer.
The more bizarre my life is, the more it seems to make sense.
Just roll with it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A sense of appreciation for helping get an otherwise functional person off the streets for a bit.
