I've lived in New York City for 11 years. I love it like a person. I've been all over and it remains my favorite place on Earth.

I like seeing new places through the eyes of people who are passionate about them. The cities I love the most other than New York are those where I've met people who choose to live in them deliberately: Birmingham, Nashville, San Francisco, Austin, San Antonio, Orlando, Tallahassee, New Orleans, Mobile, Charlotte, Jacksonville

I'm a huge Buffy fan.

I love movies. I spend almost all my time working and I permit movies as my main distraction. I try to watch one a day. Horror is my favorite but I watch everything.

I live with clear intention. I like order. I've also learned to be extremely flexible over the years and accept circumstances that are out of my control.

I procrastinate really well.

I have very considered, strong opinions about most things. I have no expectation that others will affirm or share those ideas. I learn the most when I listen to people who don't agree with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a full time touring musician. I have a pretty big network of friends around the world, but not everywhere. I spend most of the year on the road. Last year I was out for 11 months. I spent a significant amount of that time by myself in my van. I'd like to start doing that less. It's good to meet new people.

Interests

I play music for a living so I'm constantly seeing live shows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in a relationship for 10 years. It ended, but with some perspective it feels like a tremendous success.
