CURRENT MISSION
Just getting back on Couchsurfing(Feb 2, 2023) after many years and so a lot of my profile is outdated as I wrote it when I was 20 haha.

ABOUT ME
Updated: Ran with the bulls, traveled to 56 countries(so far), led a team to create one of the world's major streaming services, flew a Spanish Air Force plane over Moroccan airspace, and am currently preparing to summit a 20,565 ft (6,265m) mountain in Ecuador.

(Below I wrote when I was 20 lol)
I'm interested in Politics and world news and love to talk and hear other people's perspectives on these and other issues. My parents own radio stations in the Midwest (U.S) and so I've grown up around and in music. Music plays a big role in my life. I lived in Madrid for 2 years and Ourense, Spain for one. I loved every second of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to travel to Haiti to help out soon after the devastating earthquake hit there. I've never seen such strong people and I remind myself every day of how lucky I am. That experience will stay with me forever and helped shape me. I'm eager to return and see my friends and give whatever assistance I can.

I've met, eaten with, and talked with many big artists due to my job at my university (U of Iowa) where I was the Ast. production director. I talk with their agents and set up everything for our concerts. Concerts I have set up include Bob Dylan, Three dog night, Ben Kweller, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Ben Fold's, Counting Crows, The Fray, Bright Eyes, Taking back Sunday, Howie day, Incubus, O.A.R., They might be Giants, Kings of Leon, Breaking Benjamins, The Hush Sound, Mae, Third eye blind, Matchbox 20, Modest Mouse, John Mayer, String cheese incident, Elton John, etc.
