CURRENT MISSION

To spread music throughout the world, literally! I try to slow down and enjoy life and each of the wonderful moments it has to offer.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going, down to earth musician. I truly enjoy life! I have a wonderful wife whom I've been with for 15 years. I've traveled to West Africa three times to study the kora, a 21 string harp. I also spent five months WWOOFing in New Zealand. I spent most of my life in Olympia, WA before moving to Asheville, NC in 2014.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet others during my travels as a musician.
