I'm a 35 year-old man with a dog, a lot of guitars and even more ambition.

The world wants music, and so I've made it my goal to give it through unique performances of improvised guitar sounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm travelling across the U.S. playing music in public places.

I'm hoping that I can find good people here on CS - people who can appreciate someone like me who is following his dreams.

I am *NOT* looking to freeload or mooch. I am a hard worker with a lot to offer in exchange for a night's rest. I have a strong body, a strong mind, and well-honed skills in many areas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just quit my job in pursuit of the dream of playing music on the streets in cities across America.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot to teach in the way of music and more specifically, improvisation.

I also know a lot about fitness, nutrition and healthy living.

I've spent the past 15 years in corporate America doing business development and sales work. I know a *LOT* about how to sell.

My dog can't teach you much but she can accept any and all belly rubs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter. Good music. Conversation. Inspiration. Hope.

I can also work hard - computer work, painting, yardwork, household repairs, general maintenance, etc.
