ABOUT ME

I am currently an English major at the University of Idaho with an emphasis in poetry and a minor in music. I work part time at a group home for developmentally disabled adults, and I like to play music. I toured the country playing music for six weeks in June and July of 2012. CouchSurfing was one of my main methods of finding a place to sleep every night.

As a Moscow dweller, I enjoy spending time with my friends at local hotspots such as the Alehouse and sometimes John's Alley. On weekends when I'm not doing homework, recording, or at a friend's house, I can often be found at Bucer's Coffee House and Pub listening to jazz.

I like all kinds of music. I started playing guitar at 16 and was at the time determined to play punk, but as I've grown over the past...years I've opened myself up to a wide variety of genres. My style is currently a mix between blues and folk. My busy schedule limits band practice time, so I often have to play solo, and that is a limiting factor in my live genre exploration.

Last of all, I love meeting new people, and would love to meet you. Thanks for considering my couch/offering your couch!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In August of 2008 I took a trip down the Cali coast with a close friend of mine in a '78 Volkswagen bus. It broke down in Santa Barbara, so we parked the thing next to the shop and lived out of it for a few days until they could start working on it. We ended up staying up with my buddy's in-laws, and the whole thing was a great time.

I'm currently preparing to go on my first national music tour, and I'm really excited to spend the night on your couch!
