I am currently living in Austin, TX splitting my time between working a 9-5 to pay the bills, going on air for Austin's NPR station KUT and learning how to digitize film at the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. I have a passion for storytelling, history, lore and the means in which we can convey and preserve such facets of culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to get the most out of where I travel. I am a bit of an introvert but I aspire to be the next Terry Gross or Diane Rehms...I love to hear and share stories, connect, relate, and bring understanding to elements of life where people differ.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a lot of different styles of music from jazz, classical, metal, punk, low-fi, synth, industrial, rockabilly... live and loud is by far the best!
I am an admirer of golden age silent film, french new wave, czech new wave, horror, surreal, science fiction, documentary, show me something that turns the world on its head.
To read, I love biographies and science fiction.
