CURRENT MISSION

Becoming a storm chaser and/or photojournalist

ABOUT ME

Moved to Minneapolis in March, for all the wrong reasons. I ride bikes and try to help out where I can. I love music and inn the words of Ghost Mice, "Punk rock music saved my life, and I can sing it honestly." I also love biking for a bajillion reasons. Commuting is simply more peaceful that way, and you can also find your limits on a bicycle.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am just here to help out. I figure if I am asking others for help I should be providing help as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome time in Chicago thanks to William.

Interests

Bikes, Photography, Music (ska, punk, indie, folk). My top favorite bands/artists would be The Mountain Goats, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Simone White, and Against Me. I am sure there are a million that could take the spots of a few I listed, just because the right music can depend on the mood.

• singing
• photography
• cars
• music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I have survived getting two of my cars totaled and followed my heart 1800 miles when people told me it was a bad idea. It kind of was a bad idea.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure if I actually can teach anything to anyone, I guess I could teach someone how to tighten their brake cables or something.
