I'm a 35-year-old circus and theater director, writer, choreographer, puppeteer, performer, musician, circus artist, and storyteller. I'm the director of the Fox and Beggar Theater. Feel free to look us up! We've done some pretty cool stuff all over the United States :)

I live in Minneapolis, in the snowy American state of Minnesota, and happily spend my time juggling 10-20 creative eccentricities at once and trying not to break things. I travel whenever I can! These days, traveling by bike is the thing for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to be honest; I've used Couchsurfing only a rare handful of times. I do a lot more camping than couchsurfing!

However, if I'm reaching out to you, it's probably because I am traveling some place where I don't know anybody! I'm super low maintenance, I don't make messes, I like to clean up other people's messes, and can be chill or chatty depending on the environment I'm in! I can happily spend the night either reading a great book on a couch or partying until sunrise.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Swing hop, world bass, Latin street music, tribal trap, electro-pop, Old Time, Jazz, Blues, whatever the fuck. I like beats that I can feel in my bones and lyrics that makes me feel beauty.

BOOKS: The Once and Future King, Invisible Cities, The Earthsea Chronicles, His Dark Materials, and Shantaram.

MOVIES: Princess Mononoke, Pan's Labyrinth, Dead Man, Hero, and The Lego Movie.
