About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Be Love Made Visible

ABOUT ME

I am a singer/songwriter and leader of my band The Texcentrics. I also teach music and play classical tuba. I was formerly the Principal Tubaist of the Pittsburgh Symphony for 23 seasons. A Native of Austin, Texas!

PHILOSOPHY

This is the mission statement on my current biz card:

To be love made visible by doing good more and more each moment so that I leave a legacy of positive change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I truly believe in the Global Village idea. We are all one... living in the little village... called Earth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had seen on the news a story about this... then my new friends The Shackeltons surfed when they came to SXSW.

Interests

I am very spiritual and aiming to be the best person I can be. I am very inspired by many people... most recently Eckhart Tolle (and always Oprah!) and Gandhi. Also I love Wayne Dyer, The Secret, What the Bleep...!

LIFE IS AWESOME and I am very GRATEFUL for mine!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled the World with the Pittsburgh Symphony. Europe over 30 times, Asia 7 times, South America twice, Australia, China, Russia...! I am so blessed by all the places I have traveled to and by the wonderful people I have met along the way.

A few of the amazing places: Mt. Koya in Japan; Caribbean National Rainforest in Puerto Rico; Barcelona!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am profoundly blessed to share with those who are interested what is being called the greatest scientific achievement since the discovery of penicillin and human DNA. I am so humbled by this.
