CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people, explore new places, and to make new music.

ABOUT ME

I am a nice, easygoing guy. I am a freshman Recording Industry Studies major at Butler University. I play music with some friends here and we're starting a pretty extensive project that can be described as an artistic community.
I enjoy learning about other people, hearing what they have to say, telling stories, playing music, and trying new things. I try to learn every instrument I can get my hands on. I've been playing drums for 8 years, can play piano and autoharp, and have recently picked up the ukulele, accordion, and mandolin.
I love thrifting, old things, found magazine, strange instruments, bicycling, photography, art, and anything that gives some insight into the human experience.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be a good person and to show kindness and love to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd be up for letting someone stay in my dorm room. I have an extra bed in here and room on the floor. I'd also like to meet up with people for coffee or a bagel or just show someone around here.
This spring break, I'm planning on taking a Mega Bus trip with some friends and would love to find some good people to stay with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing from this website so far, but two summers ago my band went on tour and we stayed with anyone generous enough to let us stay with them. It was a great experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really enjoyed touring with my old band. I guess that's pretty amazing.
