I'm a pretty quiet, laid back guy. I love playing music, hiking, camping, reading, and experiencing new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found in my travels, it's the people I meet along the way that tend to make traveling the most fun, interesting, and fulfilling. I like to connect with people from all walks of life and do what I can to enhance the experience of other travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I really enjoy playing funky grooves, but my music tastes are pretty broad - anything from hip-hop to classical. Lately I've really been enjoying Lianne La Havas, Sergei Rachmaninoff, D'Angelo, Greensky Bluegrass, Milk Carton Kids, and Papadosio.

Movies: I love a good documentary.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching private guitar and harmonica lessons for the last five years. Any music questions? I'd love to discuss them.

I enjoy learning about other people and cultures. The sights, when traveling, are great, but connecting with people is how I like to spend my time whenever possible.

I think anything can be interesting if you learn enough about the topic. I love listening to people talk about their passions, even if I don't know anything about the subject.

What I Can Share with Hosts

There's a good chance I'll have a guitar or harmonicas with me when I travel, so if you're into jammin', that could be a good time. Also, I think I'm pretty good company and a genuinely nice dude. Want anything in particular? Let me know. I'll see if I can make it happen.
