ABOUT ME

I like tea and friendly conversation.
I helped to organize and start the current local chapter of Food Not Bombs here in San Diego in 2007.
I play a lot of music and ran a little label called Drunken Goat Records for a spell.

PHILOSOPHY

We should try our best to not put others in the position to disobey their moral conscience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played a show sick with fever during a thunder and lightning storm on an abandoned loading dock 100 yards over the Mississippi River. Best show ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting folks that can stimulate my mind. Folks that can relax over a cup of tea or a drink and teach me something new. Music, Film, Art, Community!
