About Me

Grew up in Gloucester, MA, child of pipe-organ builders. I was fortunate enough to travel a good deal even before college, where I was involved in theater and chamber choir, majored in religion, minored in math, and studied abroad in Sri Lanka. Since then I've worked around the US, as well as China, Sri Lanka, Scotland, and Korea, where I was designer and production manager for an internationally touring theater company for a few years. After several years living and working in the Washington DC area I have recently moved out to Colorado, where I work at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

So many places left to go...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and share community. Being able to stay with new friends far from home is great, and I love to offer that same experience when people visit my city.

Back when I had a house in DC we had an account at if you want to check out additional references:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding in the doorway of a crowded train in Sri Lanka, having to use my reserve parachute, translating between 2 languages I don't speak particularly well in order to get a show up on time...

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, Sri Lankan cooking, basic electrics and/or lighting design
Learn: languages (all of them, but we can start with the ones I already know a little of), hang- or para-gliding, anything you want/like to teach, really
Share: Cooking, discussion, rock-climbing, a beer, a game

If there's time, I'm happy to cook a meal of Sri Lankan food :-)
