I am a creative, young visionary who is driven by the desire to change, learn, and have fun. I like to work hard professionally, socially and on my passions. I like to be challenged: I'm always stoked for a solid conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled extensively my entire life. I am really low on cash but want to continue seeing the world. I left my job as a curator of art this spring and need to find ways to sustain an active, creative life with a smaller budget!

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Steinbeck. He's got a really beautiful way with words. I love poetry. Bukowski will have my heart forever.

I'm an artist and a writer, primarily a painter. I was a curator of modern and contemporary art for several years.

I recently finished working on a horror film production. Let's talk about films!

I love Tarantino and Kubrick. Lars von Trier and Harmony Korine are phenomenal as well.

I listen to, really, anything. I studied jazz. I play multiple instruments. I'm fond of punk, electronic, shoegaze, dubstep, Americana—way too many to list.

It's impossible for me to pick favorite bands: I love Nirvana, Swallow, Zero Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Hives, Sondre Lerche, The Doors, 2 Chains, The Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Liz Phair, Big L, of Montreal, and so many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank champagne on a private roof in Manhattan while staring at the Empire State Building at sunset. It was awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a bit about art, guitar, photography, anything I've a bit of expertise about! I love teaching. I've been a guitar instructor for a decade.
