I'm an Oakland University graduate and Physical Therapy Technician from Metro Detroit where I've lived all of my life. I love to make music, help people with my work and share experiences with people. Trading stories and knowledge is one of my favorite ways to communicate with the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As most any couchsurfer does, I love to travel. I am very into traveling to see bands and musical artists perform and when paying for the ticket and gas to see such shows, it is convenient to not have to rent a room.

Interests

I sing in a local surf band and enjoy performing with my band mates; if it isn't obvious, music is a huge part of my life. There isn't a single feeling in the world that I've experienced that I can equate to the feeling of performing one's own material. I am second degree black belt in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan, a title I earned at the age of 16 and although I have ceased my formal training for the time being I am always interested in any physical or bodily art. It's also noteworthy that I performed in a Rocky Horror shadow cast for over a year! (my main role was that of Rocky) I also enjoy hiking, swimming, and exposing myself to nature in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

my music list could go on forever but I'd have to say the bands that influence my own music are my favorite, such bands are Wavves, FIDLAR, The Growlers, Mac Demarco, and Beach Fossils as well as many more. I have a huge soft spot for soul music, Otis Redding in particular. My favorite movie is Drive, I find the imagery with particular attention being paid to the colors and lights, to be entrancing. In regards to books all I can say is I'm not fond of pulp fiction as a genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Performed a live concert for a couple hundred people!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am excited to learn and listen to whatever knowledge or experiences guests and hosts may offer. I'm open to sharing my knowledge whether it be of music or anything related to my degree in the areas of health sciences such as nutrition or fitness!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Given appropriate notice I am more than happy to complete any errands or chores within my ability. I'm a very friendly person so I can offer my thoughts and cheer as well!
