ABOUT ME
Way too many stories. Antartica's my last continent, and it ain't easy pulling that trip off. Currently playing on a baseball team and trying to spend a lot of time on the boat I went in on with a couple buddies - love summertime in New England. Still aiming to perform air guitar shows, but trying to come back from a long break. My actual band is on a temporary/permanent hiatus too, considering we can't keep a drummer for more than a gig. Pride myself on my friends and how I treat them. Wear a suit for the day job, but I am very much not a suit (every suit says that.) Recently got my Master's of Education but not sure when I will actually use it. Had to quit my radio show due to lack of time, and I love weddings. You know that Thin Lizzy song? No, not that one - the other one. Yeah - I'm all about that.
And just moved back to Boston with my wonderful and crazy girlfriend - still have Big Red in Providence, so don't worry.
PHILOSOPHY
We can talk about that - mainly related to sunshine and the ocean. But I am also terrified of the ocean too. But I love it!
Oh, I really like floating on a raft in a pool.
But that's not really a philosophy.
Wait... yeah it is. OK, that's my philosophy.
Pool rafting.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Dig travelling, travellers, and anything completely different to what I am used to. I really inject a lot of life back into the world. And anything I can do to help and give back some of the hospitality shown to me, just tell me when you're ready for the next round, or if you just need directions - they may not be accurate, but I'll give 'em.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm a music nut. Really, just everything constantly ... over 18,000 full albums and growing... (No I have not heard them all, and maybe never will, but trying to nonetheless.)
Love oldies - Motown... Been listening to bluegrass recently, some 7L, couple foreign releases, enjoying the Heavy and Leonard Cohen this week, and I have just been reintroduced to Heartless Bastards. That chick can sing
I also dig movies.
Read often - Just read Moby Dick! Now reading Confederacy of Dunces.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Jeez - chasing zebras in Africa, or flying a chartered plane into Cuba at midnight, or jumping off a boat into the middle of the Pacific, or that 10-day bachelor party in Columbia, or going down that river in Vietnam in the middle of the night (crazy lost) or that fantastic omelet in Zagreb

Teach, Learn, Share
Have no fear of the unknown - sure, keep your head up and don't flash your wallet around, but if you go into any situation feeling good, and have a little faith in the common decency of mankind, the world will treat you just fine. And you will probably have a better time.
