CURRENT MISSION

I need to finish editing

ABOUT ME

I spend most of my time teaching kids to play the violin and I really enjoy it. I ride my bike almost every day of the year to the various locations around the city where I teach. I like to cook and run... which allows me to eat the things I cook. I prefer dark beer and red wine.
I live with my wife Nicole and our cats Clover and Kevin. Nicole is an opera singer who is currently working as a vocal and piano teacher. Clover is a gray tabby (see photo).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member for a couple years but before now haven't really been in a situation where I could host. Now I have a great setup and really want to meet people from other places and help them experience Chicago.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met several couchsurfers through my good friend Breana and they have all been great people out to see the world. Right now I want to host and when I get a little more time I look forward to traveling.
