Hey! I'm Harrison. I'm a proud Buffalonian. I grew up here, went away to school but moved back right after graduation to start my consulting agency. I work part-time in Toronto, and I'm constantly traveling for work.

You should know I'm a night owl and I make my own schedule, so I'm really flexible when it comes to hosting. I'm pretty laid back and open to just about anything. For me, it's an honor to host and share the food, culture and history of our city.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy sharing my love of music, and good food and drink. I've worked in restaurants for a decade now and love trying new things.

Music-wise, I like a mix funk & soul, classic rock and deep house. We have an awesome music scene here in Buffalo, so I get to see a lot of good shows.

The book 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris inspired me to start a virtual business and build a lifestyle that would allow me to travel. When I'm not nerding out on books like that, I enjoy mystery novels and Dan Brown type action adventure. I will always loan out good books to good people.

Binge-watching shows on Netflix, Hulu and PopcornTime help us to survive the long Buffalo winters. I'm also a huge movie buff and have a ridiculous collection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got the chance to travel all over Italy as part of an exchange group, and spent a few weeks immersed in the food, the language and the culture. I picked up some Italian and a little German, but I only really remember the swear words.

Teach, Learn, Share

What is marketing? If marketing is the act of overcoming fear, telling stories, doing work that matters and engaging with a world that’s going through revolutionary change, then sure, I’m flattered to be a marketing expert. My job, I think, is to highlight things we already sense, and to help people push themselves to do the work they know they ought to be doing. — Seth Godin

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you discover the best spots in the city off the beaten path, and some history if that's your thing.
