I've recently relocated back to New Orleans from Asheville, NC. I am a museum professional and I am an artist, mostly working with paint and drawing materials.

I'm a queer male but I get along with most open-minded, down to earth people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had a CS account since college, and have used it pretty sparingly. I'm looking to become more engaged in this awesome community and resource!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm big into folk music, especially learning to sing new (old) songs and learning about their historical context. I love all sorts of music though. I don't see a lot of new movies, but I love older movies and musicals. Anything thought-provoking or uplifting. As for books, I'm big into non-fiction. Usually books on natural history, plants, biographies, histories, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo cross-country train trip from Chicago to all over the Pacific Northwest, and back again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have songs! I can make fire, garlic mashed potatoes, and the world's best margarita, among other things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of puns, a strong listening ear, help cleaning or deciding where that bookcase should go.
