About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Postpone growing up as long as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician, and I love to talk, breathe, and live music. All kinds of music interest me, but since I primarily study classical and jazz, I'm perhaps most knowledgeable about those styles. Besides music, I'm interested in history and other cultures, so for me, traveling is about the funnest thing on earth. I'm not a very good cook, but I usually have fun when I do it. Love to go out dancing at a club, sit and have some drinks at a nice bar, or hang out at home with a nice bottle of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is way to big to spend your whole life in one place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studying abroad has been the best decision of my life. 11 months living and studying in the beautiful country of Austria. Also traveled to Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Turkey, Italy, England, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Macedonia. Best experience of my life, and I'm trying to hold on to as much of that lifestyle as possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk your ear off about music, so if you don't want that, you'll have to stop me before I get started.

I would love to learn some good recipes for the "slightly less than average" level cook.
