CURRENT MISSION

Exploring our methods of communication and effects of mediums on our minds!

ABOUT ME

I'm a jack of all trades. Currently running my own web design and communications consulting business. I also play music and perform here and there around Baltimore.

I've done a good amount of traveling. I've been to 39 of 50 states and 7 countries in Europe on three different trips. I love meeting people and can give you the ultimate tour of Baltimore's arts and music scene!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone knows something you do not know. Keep your ears and eyes open to the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a great artist/warehouse loft space right now, so if you need a place to crash, we have space for you! I'm also planning to travel more and make as many new CS friends as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have limited CS experience, but I did stay with Wes in Portland twice! Fortunately in other cities I have usually had a friend or friend of a friend to host me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove with two other friends 39 hours straight from Wisconsin to Seattle and along the way found out that South Dakota is way underrated and that being on the road that long will really take your mind into some wild places. On that same trip we went down to Bishop, CA and stood at an overlook at the top of the White Mountains. From there you could see a 100 mile stretch of the Sierra Mountains across the valley. Totally mind bending! Afterwards we descended back into the valley and were engulfed into an indigo haze.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really into Media Ecology right now. For those that do not know, media ecology is media environments and the exploration of how different forms of media effect our minds and day-to-day. For example, the effects of the printing press on society at large. If you're interested in similar topics or have an expertise in any media field, I'd love to talk to you about the inner workings of said field.
