CURRENT MISSION

To love life, share music, and meet good natured people.

ABOUT ME

Hmmm...I guess I have to be a bit boastful. My friends would say I have a positive attitude, I'm funny, generous, smart, healthy & fit, very crafty & creative, hard working, and just plain cool.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed many couches throughout the West Coast, but not yet officially through this site.

I travel playing music a lot. Sometimes we camp, sometimes we get put up in mansions, sometimes a crappy hotel, sometimes a luxury hotel, but sometimes a couch or a guest bed with some new or old friends is the funnest way to go.

Interests

I'm a FT musician and PT Uber/Lyft driver. I play in several bands, engineer/produce at a recording studio, and used to be a vintage clothing dealer. My days are spent preparing healthy foods, creating new music, rehearsing music, repairing instruments & gear, exercising, thrift shopping, reading, playing shows and working in the studio. Sometimes I watch football, and my only guilty TV pleasure is Walking Dead. I love to travel. I'm very thankful for being able to do a lot of traveling for work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've visited and helped restore Mbarri shrines in the Niger Delta where I also performed at festivals with indigenous musicians, and produced field recordings.

I've toured the West Coast with Jamaican reggae legends.

I've performed outside during rain & hailstorms.
