ABOUT ME

Been on traveling hiatus for a few years, got sucked into the routine of work and school for a while, Now I'm working on riding my bike across the U.S. I'm real easy to get along with, am usually up for whatever and not sure what else to add here, maybe some of the reviews will give you an idea so I can end the corny self-description here.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be excellent to each other"

- Bill and Ted...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slept on a lot of couches, floors etc. while roadieing for bands. You get in the van, drive somewhere, and someone usually puts you up, cooks etc., it's a pretty rad way to meet people and see new spots.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Touring Canada with my friends in the band Reservoir, hitting the beach in California, riding my skateboard on a perfect day, late night bike rides. I am frequently stoked and about life, mine and in general.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have lots of experience doing punk rock things,so if you are curious about booking concerts, putting out your own magazine, touring, doing a record label, I am more than stoked to try and give you some ideas from my experience.
