CURRENT MISSION

Meet as many great people as I can --for life is short!

ABOUT ME

I'm a music loving Speech-Language Pathologist I work with adults and children with various communication disorders. Some colleagues and I have recently started our own non-profit organization to help brain-injury survivors. I'm also a very active volunteer at local charities. I'm an easy-going guy and love meeting new people/making new friends.

I've been living on my own since I was 16....I learned at a young age how to live independently and how to appreciate good company.

I want to be a traveler and and not a tourist.

I have decided I will use all of my availability to travel, host, and LEARN about the world as much as possible.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE music as much as a person could! I play the guitar and doodle on the piano.

I feel that I should've also been a finance major, but my passion to help others over-ruled and I became a Speech-Language Pathologist.

I strive to learn something new each and everyday.

PHILOSOPHY

1) Be impeccable with your word, 2) Don't take anything personally, 3) Don't make assumptions, and 4) Always do your best.

-We're only strangers until we meet and become friends.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I backpacked West Europe Summer 2011 --meeting some of the most wonderful people ever!!!

I want to learn about each and every culture as possible and share my own as well.

I've opened my residence for many traveling musicians/bands over the years, but as of recent, my schedule has gotten in the way of that availability. I def try to host as much as possible.

兴趣

Music, Art, Education, and Philanthropy.

I live for music! I love finding new "treasures" of talent! Anything from jazz, rock, techno, blues, and everything beyond. Everything from Miles Davis to Ravi Shankar and everything in between. I love improv jam sessions and being apart of the magic in progress.

I feel as though I am an open book for interests. I'm interested in people and lifestyles. I want to experience new things, try new things, meet new people and create a living melting pot of culture.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of my favorite adventures was a last minute trip some friends and I took to the Grand Canyon. We left on a Friday, got there in 18hrs, slept a few hours, hiked to the bottom, passed out from exhaustion, woke up at 8am, hiked 9 miles back out, and drove 18hrs back home. It was a super draining trip, but looking back, it was amazing!!!!

教，学，和分享

This "Learn. Teach. Share." philosophy is a great mind set. I feel like a sponge when it comes to learning about new things! I'm sure I have some experiences and knowledge to share as well. I was forced to grow up at a young age and have been at several extremities over the course of that journey.

I love to cook, but never follow a recipie. I'd love to learn how to cook a "local" dish. I play guitar and teach lessons...maybe I can teach you a few chord progressions.
