CURRENT MISSION

To explore the Pacific Northwest, take some pictures, write some stuff down, and make some friends along the way...

ABOUT ME

By nature, I'm more of an artist than anything else, I've been writing music for the guitar, piano and drums for about 13 years. I started acting when I was 14 and tried to make a career out of it. I attended University of the Arts and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an intensity in acting. In an effort to create a secure source of income I've also gotten a Bachelor's of Science in Culinary Arts and am currently making a living that way. I moved to Baltimore about two years ago, before that I lived in Philadelphia.

PHILOSOPHY

Anything worth doing is worth doing right and if the going is good then lets get going...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You got a place to stay if you're in Baltimore and don't know anybody. I'd like to spend sometime in the northwest myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't really have too many experiences couch surfing other than a couple friends in New York and Boston. I did spend a month in Sydney, Australia. However, that was with family that lived there and more of just a regular vacation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a full grown cow (deceased) pushed into a pit and burst open with a family of possums living in it's stomach...
