Music, Movies, and Books

i love country & folk music. im not big on watching series, but im open to whatever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i've seen sadness and happiness. i'm also a pretty funny dude, and one amazing thing i have done is stand-up comedy, which counts as an amazing thing i have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach surfing (but im not lisenced by any means), cooking, improv theater, essay-writing, English, Dutch, song-writing, i can teach you the basics of guitar and singing as well.

What I Can Share with Hosts

a big ol' sense of humor, english advice from someone with the highest level of english achievable for non-native speakers, surfing buddies (im big on this one), and someone who knows how to cook a damn good pasta.

I'm also pretty big and stong, so if you need me to lift things I'm game.
