About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Currently can't offer a place to stay but would love to meet up if we have similar interests. I love my city!

ABOUT ME

I grew up on a farm, went to school at a conservatory, have traveled the world several times, and now live in NYC. I'm a performing artist who studied music, theatre, and dance. I have many other career interests...fitness, business, music production, DJing, & film. check out my website --> www.ehlersonline.com

Over the next several years, I am changing my career from theatrical performance to music production. I'm really excited about this - it means that I'm living in NYC and learning about music technology, DJing, nightlife entertainment, and teaching singers.

I love partying and having fun, but also think the most important thing in my life is my career and so I live my life to achieve success - I don't want to be good at my career - I want to be the best in the world. My life is a little different because my work is what many other people think is fun - and yes, it is very fun! - but for me, there is a separation between work and play. I'm energetic, positive, and am an intellectual.

I find that almost all of my closest friends are European or have traveled to Europe.

I'm not religious but I respect yours if you have one. I'm also gay. I don't think that's important, but I understand some people are not comfortable with that so I should mention it...and tell you to change your opinion haha. But really, I talk openly about any differences I have with people. That's how we learn.

I'm very clean and organized. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. If you do, it's okay. Fitness is very important to me and I love fashion.

Basically, I'm a chill guy who is interested in meeting you and learning something about you, your country, and your lifestyle. I'm very curious about life and am a respectful person.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't want to be irrelevant in the world.

Work hard. Play harder.

Music, Movies, and Books

I study classical music because it's important but listen to all genres of electronic music...a lot. I also grew up with pop and rock music... alternative, metal, screamo, punk. I'm a musician so pretty much anything interests me.

I read mostly non-fiction books about my interests, but also poetry and abstract theatre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been homeless for a night in both Barcelona and New York. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Sometimes the best learning experience is just hearing someone else's story. ...or making stories with them. Often, people just need a fresh perspective or need to meet a new person to inspire them and energize them.

...and I'm really good at dancing haha
