I have been a touring musician for 25 years, and am father to three brilliant daughters (2 in college, one in grade 8). I've lived in Santa Barbara my whole life, but have traveled extensively. I think life is best lived in a state of gratitude, curiosity and fascination. I don't particularly enjoy filling out "About Me" profiles, but I can do it if I have to.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
I travel constantly for my work. I see lots of highways, hotels and clubs, but don't get the opportunity to encounter many people outside of work. I'd like to broaden my horizons and meet interesting people, and to travel solo for the first time where experience rather than work is my primary objective. I do not currently have a residence where I can host, but hope to be able to host in the future.

Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Helped to raise three people who are brilliant, creative, kind, adventurous and generous of spirit.
Учить, учиться, делиться
I'm a songwriter, singer, guitarist, producer and engineer. I'm good at figuring out tech. I understand sadness and vulnerability. I prefer to laugh.
Что я могу предложить хостам
Songs and good conversation. A curious nature and a will to find delight in simple things. An inexpertly but enthusiastic home cooked meal if time permits. A person who knows how not to make a mess when traveling. A willingness to help clean up and join in tasks.
