CURRENT MISSION

to stay out of the hermitage and on the move

ABOUT ME

I'm a musician into the DIY ethic, making everything myself, from the recordings to the cd cases to the tour booking. I've traveled around for years connecting with other musicians and building a community, and I've realized that the other people I meet on the road are a part of my community too. So it seems like CouchSurfing is a natural progression in connecting with folks as I move around the country.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in living simply and efficiently. I try to make beautiful things that break peoples' hearts. I try to be as easy as possible.
