CURRENT MISSION

make cool shit

ABOUT ME

I'd like to make a go of independent filmmaking, so much of my spare time right now is spent writing. I enter short film competitions now and then, google "The Ballad of Oscar Homeslice" or "Bacon to the Core" for a pretty good encapsulation of who I am, actually.

I also like to play music quite a bit, which has spanned a good many genres and instruments with a good number of groups. A couple of the roommates and I are in a band here in Nashville called Terrible, we should jam.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy, empathize, try to create something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a bit, and I just started hosting in Nashville. So far it's been a great experience on both ends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch-surfed in Germany a couple years ago, and it was an awesome way to really engage with people and cities rather than just do purely touristy stuff. It's a great program.
