I live in San Jose, Ca now, but I'm from Louisiana. I was born and raised in cajun country and lived in New Orleans for about 8 years.
I work in the music industry as a Production Coordinator, and a Union hand. This is a fancy way of saying I set up and tear down concerts and events.
As a side job I also work retail at a local REI.
In my off time I try to get outside as much as possible. I've been climbing for 20 years, and hope to climb for 40 more! Hiking and camping follow close behind, but definitely make the grade!
I have a beautiful partner named Katya who is from Russia! We have been together over a year and a half, and we always travel together. She is not only my life partner, but also my climbing partner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best way to travel! I love meeting new people and sharing experiences!

Music, Movies, and Books

Being in the industry its hard to pick favorite music. Right now I'm listening to a lot of bluegrass and oldies.
Movies on the other hand. Ghostbusters, The Neverending Story and The Secret of NIMH are my all time favorites!
Books...Classics and fantasies
