Overview
About Me
I was born in British Columbia and have lived in rural Wisconsin, small-town Michigan, Manhattan, Los Angeles, Seattle/Olympia/Bellingham, just outside Philadelphia and most recently in San Francisco and in Sedona AZ.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love couchsurfing new cities before picking a neighborhood to live in. It's been nine years since I've lived in Los Angeles and I want to reacquaint myself with the city before picking up my acting career again post-pandemic. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Read James Joyce's Ulysses in 24 hours (the same amount of time it takes Bloom to live through the events of the book).
Attended the PNW regional Rainbow Gathering (a two-week pop-up money-free civilization in the forest) in 2016 and the national one in 2017.
Wrote, directed, band-led, stage managed, produced, promoted and starred in the premiere of the first act of an original musical adapted from the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh (a continuing work in progress!).
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you've got a keyboard, hand drum or woodwind instrument lying about, we could jam!
