Musician based out of Los Angeles, grew up in rural Oklahoma. I'm the easy-going type that tends to put people at ease - but I'm down for just about anything (from low-key to off-the-wall) as long as we're conscious of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Was one of the first active couchsurfers from Oklahoma (nearly 10 years ago) and have met some amazing people (both in USA and abroad.) This is a really special concept, if used correctly and honestly.

I haven't been in the position to host since I've been in Los Angeles, so it's been a few years since I've been involved -- but now my music is starting to take me out on the road and I'd love to log some miles, share some stories, and pick up some inspiration.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you'd like to learn some guitar/drums, I can teach you. If you already know how to do that and just want to jam, even better. I'm not an amazing cook, just because I haven't devoted much time to it, but I am creative. and can probably whip up something you'll enjoy.
