So far for the last 25 years I've been defined by school, university and career. What I've managed to discover about myself within that limited worldview is that I am driven to make things. Sculpture, furniture, potato guns, food, anything really will satisfy that urge. I can't not help people. Nothing makes me happier than leaving my house at 1 in the morning in half a foot of snow to rescue a friend who's car has stalled in a ditch. The last, and most apparent thing to me, is that I have a powerful, and so far unrequited urge to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCH SURFING
I have hosted several wonderful people from all over the world at my house. Every single one has been a uniquely excellent experience. So far I haven't couch surfed myself, but that may be changing in a week.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love acoustic music with folk, Latin or heavy metal influence. I have a serious weakness for anything involving a banjo. In particular I've been listening to Ewan Dobson, Rodrigo y Gabriela, The Crow Quill Night Owls, Mumford and Sons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I poured 600 pounds of molten bronze at night using only the light from the glowing metal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My strong work ethic. I will do the hell out of some dishes. I can also play didgeridoo if there's one available... or about 4 feet of pipe.
