I love traveling and prefer an authentic home experience over the formalities of a hotel. There's nothing like connecting with someone and seeing the city from their eyes.

I'm a well-balanced mixture of creativity and analytic thought; living as a classical musician turned marketer has taught me the importance of incorporating the two mindsets.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovered my life's purpose before it was over.

Teach, Learn, Share

In my professional life I equip people with the skills and tools they need to see their dreams realized. I find it to be an extension of my mission of helping others.

I love teaching others the importance and enjoyment of music.

I'm always curious to learn about other peoples' journeys in life.

I share my life an experiences openly in the hopes that it will inspire others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always open to sharing my knowledge in business, offering tips and insights, and cooking a meal for a great host. Being a classical clarinetist for over 13 years, I have plenty of insight in classical music theory, history and performance. And above most things, I'm a great listener.
