CURRENT MISSION

To share music, a couch, great experiences, and travel the world

ABOUT ME

I am a happy-go-lucky musician - Mandolin, guitar, ukulele (and screechy violin at best) I really like to meet people and love to travel, love to play music, stomp my feet, have a classy glass of wine and talk about kids these days and how we used to have to walk to the internet store in our day... haha - Just out to get a little of what's out there waitin'.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel a philosophy of mine would be that staying positive and happy is a good plan and helps the world around you in one way or another - We determine how much affects us in some ways and life and time keeps moving so you might as well have fun

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would like to invite travelers to stay on my couch at my house in Denver, and find hosts when my band is on the road, to lay a weary head down for me and possibly my band Ponder the Albatross as well

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have had great hosts all across Europe and while on tour in the states, all of my experiences have been great, I very much like this community of like minded people

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Haha let's see here - time to try to be a braggard
I climbed the highest Mountain in Colorado barefooted (a few years ago, don't know what my feet would think of that now)
Rode a 250cc Motorcycle that didn't drive fast enough on an overnight 17 hr trip with a backpack ukulele and mandolin strapped to it - (that one mostly just hurt)
Saved a small dog from dying in a lake frozen over with ice and fell in in the process(actually happened)
Taught a baby bear how to do sign language and graduate from college to be an astronaut(definitely didn't happen)
Every sight that I've seen, eclipses, Waking up in a train during a sunrise in the Oregon wilderness, snowboarding alone, all the concerts I have seen, wild animals, sights from travels, new people and experiences - all these things are unique and amazing -

教，学，和分享

Id love to teach anyone how wants to know anything that I can teach about Music - I can share things that I've learned and would love to know the boundless libraries of knowledge that I don't - I think when you teach you learn as well - so I think I've got a lot to learn, but maybe I know something you don't (unlikely haha)
