CURRENT MISSION

To fill the world with music and candy.

ABOUT ME

I want to do pretty much everything, and sometimes that gets me into trouble because I end up way over extended in my commitments. Right now I run a couple (very tiny) businesses - one makes a really awesome remedy for sunburns and bug bites, and the other makes gourmet marshmallows.

But mostly, I just want to travel, climb on rocks, and play music.

PHILOSOPHY

We live in a very goal-oriented society, and I think that often stops us from enjoying everything along the way. I'm just trying to enjoy the opportunities of each new day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only surfed a couple times, but both experiences were great. My roommates and I also hosted a number of CSers when I lived in St. Louis - all great people that we loved showing around the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once got to play my trumpet on the Great Wall of China with a brass ensemble. We stood in an ancient turret and played the Olympics theme song.
