About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do what you love, love what you do

ABOUT ME

Music is my core. I currently live in Nashville, TN and work a recording studio. I am surrounded by many people who were all brought to the same place driven by creative aspirations. I myself spend almost every waking moment recording various artists that I believe in and have become good friends with over the years.

I myself, play drums in a band called Darla Farmer. I originally was involved with Darla Farmer as an engineer and later became their drummer (one of the single most happy days of my life). I now spend my time working, recording and touring around the us in a gutted handicap accessible shuttle bus...couldn't be happier.

Darla Farmer is one band of many that make up an upcoming music scene that is made up of a large group of people that all met in Nashville while at school. These people all have their interest (whether in a band, doing promotion, booking shows, doing artwork, writing literature etc...) and collectively make each other stronger and keep each other moving in the direction of creative expression. That in a nutshell is what inspires me and keeps me going....I love it.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you love and love what you do. Do it because you want to not because someone wants you to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was first introduced the CS project through my room mate Charles Irby about 4 years back. We hosted many different people, all of which was a very good and inspiring experience. It showed me the large scale on which community exists. Before CS I viewed community on a very local level. Neighbors and such. But after hosting and meeting people from all over and sharing experiences with them I see the big picture.
