I have lived in Michigan nearly my entire life. I lived in Portland, OR for a year. Ten years ago I backpacked through parts of Europe for 6 months and I would not have been able to do it without the Couchsurfing community!

I have just minimized my life and am taking a big leap, backpacking parts of the world again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People, Places, Things, Verbs, Music! Sometimes the smallest influences are the most amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has something to teach and learn that is unique.

I would like to learn more about cultural music around the world. Anything with a strong connection to the development of a people, anything with a strong vibration.

I am also really interested in building and woodworking techniques, engineering and physics of all types. ART. Different forms of community.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have worked in so many kitchens I would love to make you a meal, teach you guitar or banjo or mandolin or some piano or drum techniques. I can show you the world of Michigan Folk music, it is a beautiful place.

I am also quite a handy man and have worked on nearly all parts of homes, if you need some kind of repair completed I can have a look.
