CURRENT MISSION

Become more of myself!

ABOUT ME

I am a composer and software engineer living in the Kansas City area. When I created this account, I was a younger wandering lad. I have since become a little more domesticated- I am married with 3 children, and 2 dogs.

I like playing music, camping, building quirky computer programs, and new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

We make what we want of our own reality. Humans have enormous potential. One person can make a difference.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have developed some wonderful friendships and experiences through couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's trade some knowledge! I know a lot about composing, recording, xenharmonics, audio and video editing, cooking, playing instruments, camping and hiking...

I've started learning more about marketing and programming, so I'm interested in talking to folks that know more about those subjects.
