About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making really killer vegan food, writing lots of sweet music, adding to my catalog of funny stories

ABOUT ME

I'm a good person to have around when you are looking for a little adventure or some humorous stories. My mom says I'm a really nice boy who is very talented and good looking. I am a musician and composer and like to write songs that use commercial product labels for lyrics.

PHILOSOPHY

This a complex question. I try to live an interesting, exciting life that constantly places me in contact with new places and new people. I strive to be a friend to all who need one, and am always open to conversations of all kinds. Music is a incredible way to connect with people for me and I am grateful to have played in so many beautiful places and met so many amazing people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan to open my couch to others as soon as I return from my travels, and will do everything in my power to create a fun, positive experience with those who would host me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent a lot of my life traveling and had complete strangers and friends of friends offer to put me up at times when I really needed a place to stay. These experiences have usually been memorable and rewarding. Connecting with new people is something that I always cherish and nothing seems to facilitate that more than couch surfing.

Interests

I am a music nut...its what I eat/breathe/sleep. I read a lot...everything from Sherlock Holmes to Jared Diamond to travel guides. I'm also way into camping, hiking, and adventures. Recently traveled to Shenendoah National Park for an amazing week of hiking and camping.
