I'm a tax accountant raised in Baltimore living in Brooklyn. Please help me eat my way around the world! I’m working on learning French to get in touch with my heritage. I love to visit museums, go hiking, explore on foot, and try local beers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet good and interesting people in the places that I visit!

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music, some examples: Modest Mouse, J.S. Bach, R.A. the Rugged Man, David Bowie, Kendrick Lamar, Zac Brown Band, Wilco, the Beach Boys, Old Crow Medicine Show, Stevie Wonder.

Books: I prefer articles and non-fiction (the Atlantic was addiction when it was free). Devil in the White City was great, King Leopold's Ghost. Fiction too though: I loved Catch-22, Crime and Punishment, and above all others, HOLES!

Movies: I like all kinds. Some favorites: Lawrence of Arabia, School of Rock, Silence of the Lambs, the Incredibles, Superbad.

TV: Like all of the world I loved Breaking Bad, I recently gave up on the Walking Dead but I am waiting for Mad Men to come back. Arrested Development, Always Sunny, Archer (I have that crude sense of humor). Despite being from Baltimore I still have not gotten around to watching the Wire.
