Hello!

I am in my final term of a Bachelor of Music Piano Performance program at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta in Camrose, Alberta. I am a classically trained pianist, but have extensive interests in folk, pop, indie, and contemporary composition.

Overall, I am an outgoing, personable, empathetic, and kind guy. At home, I am very tidy, organized, and respectful to my surroundings. I expect the same from others!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I am planning to visit Vancouver from April 15-28 as a graduation gift to myself. I have been a couple of times before, but I am looking to explore much more this time, hike, check out multiple islands, and go on as many adventures as possible during those two weeks.

That being said, I am on Couchsurfing to connect with Vancouver residents, make friends, and potentially find a place or two to stay during those two weeks.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I recently gave the Alberta premiere of a work for speaking pianist entitled "The Garden" by Rodney Sharman. Additionally, this performance and the associated paper received a substantial award. As a result, this project is going to be published in an online academic journal called "Metamorphosis." I am incredibly grateful and amazed by this.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you some piano, a few songs, and my knowledge of current environmental events and situations.

I am a very open individual and absorb information like a sponge. I am always willing to learn and travel into territories that I haven't considered.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My vast knowledge of music and piano performance, my voice, stories related to living in urban and rural Alberta settings, stories of travels and tours, and everything in between. I am an open book!
