CURRENT MISSION

To couchsurf on the moon!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Wisconsin and have lived there my whole life. Currently I am living in Stoughton, WI with my beautiful wife Abby where I teach music to elementary students and coach cross-country and track. I have a younger brother Mike who lives in Hudson, WI and works the night shift at a Hospital in Hudson, WI; and a younger sister Dawn who just got a job as a nurse in Lisbon, ND. In my free time I enjoy songwriting, running, and more recently geocaching. In my previous life I was a stegosaurus.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about pushing past boundaries, challenging ourselves to try new things.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I once found out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop..

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love to sing and share songs. Music seems to be a universal language.. so I suppose I could teach my favorite melodies and would love to learn yours as well.
