CURRENT MISSION

To absorb. To create.

ABOUT ME

I am a musician. A pretty down-to-Earth and up-in-the-clouds kind of guy. I do my best to be patient and I can get along with most anybody else who is a decent human being. I seem to enjoy getting to know people from all kinds of different walks of life and finding out what makes them tick and what kinds of ideas and beliefs they cherish.

PHILOSOPHY

People are people. Love them. Respect them. Even if you don't agree with them, people are people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a traveling musician, I've done a bit of surfing. I hope to one day return the favor and host surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's always humbling to stay with generous hosts. I think the openness and generosity of others makes me a better person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a van and travel around the US for a year playing music with my girlfriend. It was pretty sweet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Patience. Self-awareness. Music. Exploration of dreams. These are things I like to share with people.

I am a skilled recording engineer (maybe someone wants to record a song?)

I feel like in my quest to be the best musician I can be, I missed out on a lot of practical skills. I'd love to learn more about cooking, grilling, camping, hiking, wilderness survival, dancing (I am terrible), and anything else I can stand to learn.
