Hi! I'm an audio engineer and artist from Milwaukee, WI. I'm always looking to travel, but I'm equally excited to host travelers!

I have a very friendly dog, Jax. He gets along with everyone (he’ll probably try cuddling with you), but if you are allergic or just don't like dogs, this might not be the best option for you.

I also help run an affordable/awesome music studio. Check us out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July of 2017 I did an artist residency at Denali National Park:

And then I made this EP with sounds sampled from the park:
