I moved to Austin in 1999 to pursue a career in music. After working a salary job with people with disabilities for 14 years, and having paid off my college loans, I became a full time musician. I now have a touring band. Because people take us in, I in turn, do the same. Please understand that we are not a young party all night and destroy the hotel room kind of band. Our age median is 40! We're a respectful bunch and are considerate of others and their property.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Touring band--expenses of the road make it difficult to make a living.
