About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spread love and joy. I know that sounds corney, but I really mean it. I think there is too much division, fear and hate in this world and I guess you can call me a reactionary to that, this will ideally be acheived through music.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting all kinds of people, especially those different from me. I love to discover why people think the way they do- its completely facinating. I am absolutely addicted to writing music, watching films and playing football. But most of all, I am in my element when having one-on-one conversations.

PHILOSOPHY

Love everyone- including the ones that hate might not like me, and don't be condescending about it. Just appreciate them for who they are, and that is the only way they will come around to appreciate you as well. This is my goal, but I am human, and I sometimes suck at my goals, but I try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a rookie, and I am going to take a couch-surfing trip so I can write my new album.

Interests

Meeting new people, Hanging out, Writing/playing/sharing music, Anything related to sports, ideas- especially philosophical, debates, and dialogue with people who think differently than me. Also Hiking, and doing spontaneous things- VERY random.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Any movie John Williams or Hans Zimmer wrote the music for. I LOVE Pixar movies- they have so much depth. Music: See above, and also anything by John Adams (check out "Transmigration of Souls" piece about 9/11. It is incredible). I am also a HUGE Marc Broussard fan- his live show is ridiculous-ESPECIALLY Calvin Turner, the bass player. Coldplay Rocks also, but my absolute favorite artist on this planet is Chris Koza. Seriously check him out.
Books: Harry Potter of course, and all of Dan Brown's Work. I also like to mix in a little C.S. Lewis and Fynn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Norway. The whole place is a nation of wonder, in the natural, social, and socioeconomical sense.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to share my music (but not if it will be annoying), and my ideas about planet earth and how we live as people. Mostly, I'd love to lend an ear to anyone who needs to chat, or figure things out. Thats probably my favorite thing to do, and the best of my skills. These are things that are ven better as an even exchange.
