I'm a writer, musician, time traveler, and explorer who believes foremost in integrity. Religiously, I'm not, and politically, I'm a social democrat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested in meeting locals and travelers to learn more about international culture than what you can get from books and museums.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read mostly nonfiction (science, history, philosophy, travel), but also enjoy the classics, and I listen to oldies, classic rock, some metal, grunge, punk, classical, and MCR.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've flown a fighter jet, made friends with celebrities, met two US presidents, played in a band, and have been to eleven countries on four continents.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook fairly well, take awesome photos, am a pretty decent writer, and am reasonably tech savvy... and I've got endless stories to share.
