I'm a professional musician in Lakewood, CO, headed out to LA in September of 2018. Hoping to meet some new acquaintances and get some local guidance about nightlife hot-spots, live music, sights to be seen, and fun to be had!

Any chance to observe or participate with art is something for which I'm routinely grateful. I like to laugh and listen! I'm also a vegetarian, but it makes me a more creative cook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels and Air BNB are so boring! When I went on tour in 2017, my best experiences came from meeting new people on Couchsurfing, and I'm hoping I can still find the level of engagement and kindness I found then.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started my life over at 25 by quitting my job in construction, moving from Florida to Colorado, graduating college, and starting my music career.

In 2017, I went on a 5 week tour across America, playing about 19 shows in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, North Dakota, and more. It was crazy and fun and really opened my eyes!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a generalist. I could talk about current technological trends, music theory, brain chemistry, pop culture, personal fitness, or home improvement and be relatively conversant. But more than that, I'm interested in learning what others have to say about it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I obviously have a love of music, which I'd be happy to share. Whether performing in someone's living room or trading influences by watching favorite artists on YouTube together. I'm also happy to cook, and I can sometimes come up with clever quick fixes for around the house repairs.
