I’m a single contemporary art curator from small town Missouri. After living in Detroit for 5 years, Philly for 5 years, and New York City for 12 years, I recently moved back to Missouri to work on a new project. I’m currently getting an MA in Curatorial Practice at the University of Bergen, Norway and travel to Europe often. I’m well traveled, considerate, quiet, sociable, neat, respectful, open minded, curious, active, fit, and with very rare exception, kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted one surfer and surfed three couches in Amsterdam and Berlin. I’ve also stayed with people in their homes via Mr BnB and Air BnB.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was recently attacked by a ferocious herd of baby goats in Norway and it was pure joy.
